Prerequisites for Remote Provisioning
To use the remote provisioning feature, ensure the following:
• You are a domain admin user who has administrator privileges on Active Directory, Certification Authority, and Configuration Manager.
• You are running on a Configuration Manager primary site server with the Configuration Manager Admin Console installed.
• Intel Setup and Configuration Software is not installed on the provisioning system.
• You have downloaded Intel Setup and Configuration Software version 12.1 or greater. Intel SCS is available for download at https://
www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/software/setup-configuration-software.html.
• On your Intel vPro-enabled clients, the latest Intel MEI driver and Local Management Service are installed. These components are
typically factory-installed, but you can also find them on dell.com/support.
• Intel vPro-enabled client systems are registered as Configuration Manager clients.
• If you plan on using an AMT provisioning certificate from a trusted third-party Certificate Authority, see Remote Provisioning
Certificate Setup. If you plan to use a self-signed AMT provisioning certificate, you must have created one and have it on hand for the
remote provisioning configuration process and for manual insertion of the hash into each vPro-enabled client to be remotely
configured.
