Before setting up Dell Intel vPro AMT Plugin on your computer:
Prepare Active Directory Domain Services for out-of-band management. For more information see the Microsoft TechNet
article at technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682051.
Provision your system running DCIP for Configuration Manger to run Intel Active Management Technology (AMT). For more
information on AMT provisioning see the Microsoft TechNet article at technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712319.
Export the provisioning certificate hash to all the AMT client systems you want to manage through your system running
DCIP for Configuration Manger. For more information, see USB Provisioning.
For In-Band shutdown to work correctly the system running DCIP for Configuration Manger needs to have Windows
Powershell version 2.0 installed and WinRM configured. For more information on configuring WinRM, see Configuring
WinRM.
When using DCIP for Configuration Manger out-of-band provisioning for clients, verify the Microsoft System Center 2012
Configuration Manager agent is not installed on those clients. If the Configuration Manger agent has been installed on
client systems and the agent has been detected by Configuration Manger, then you can use Configuration Manger in-band
provisioning with those client systems.
NOTE:
You can perform the check by using the Configuration Manger console to view the client column of
Configuration Manger collections.
