Preparing Intel vPro Client Systems For Remote

Provisioning

If you specified a self-signed certificate during the Remote Provisioning configuration process, then insert the self-signed certificate hash

into the MEBx of any client systems you intend to target for remote provisioning.

Provisioning Remote Client Systems

From the Configuration Manager Admin Console, do the following:

1. Deploy the vPro-AMT Configure Client task sequence on the vPro-AMT Capable device collection or a custom device collection.

The task sequence will execute on all client systems in the targeted device collection and attempt to provision the client systems for

AMT.

After being provisioned, the AMT clients will eventually appear under the vPro-AMT Provisioned-Compliant device collection. It

may take a few minutes for the clients to appear in the device collections.

2. You may need to manually update the membership of the device collections or restart the Configuration Manager Admin Console to

refresh the device collections.

NOTE:

Any Dell client systems that the software places in the vPro-AMT Provisioned - Compliant device collection

will also appear in the Available clients list for the operations in the Dell Command | Intel vPro Out of Band

application.

NOTE: If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Dell Command | Integration Suite for System Center, or if you

later upgrade Intel Setup and Configuration Software using Dell Command | Intel vPro Out of Band, you may see

multiple versions of the vPro-AMT objects in Configuration Manager. It is recommended that you use the highest

version instance of these objects,

over

, for example, when deploying the task sequence.
