If it's a server that actually deserves that name, it should have IPMI on board.

Problem is some of us work for budget constraints customers and define server by purpose and not specifications. So very often they buy servers based on budget and that it's good enough to run most applications for X users. Unfortunately, very often I'm the one who ends up managing these simply because our applications run on them.

You can buy add-on PCI-cards for OOB-management, though.

Thanks for the information, although unless they are really cheap...
