USB Provisioning

Before Intel Active Management Technology-based client systems are managed out-of-band, provision

the client systems for AMT.

Provisioning Using A USB Device

The client systems on the network have to procure a digital provisioning certificate before deploying the

Intel Management and Security Status application using remote configuration.

To export your certificate hash to the client systems using a USB storage device:

1. Launch Dell Command | Intel vPro Out of Band.

For more information, see Launching Dell Command | Intel vPro Out of Band.

The USB Provisioning screen is displayed.

2. Enter your Management Engine (ME) password in the Current Password section, and then enter a

New Password for AMT and confirm it.

NOTE: The AMT password must contain a minimum of eight characters made up of uppercase,

lowercase, numbers, and nonalphanumeric characters excluding :, _, and ".

NOTE: If you are entering the Current Password for the first time on the Management

Engine(ME), the default password is admin.

3. Under USB Key click Browse and point to the location of the USB storage device.

4. Select the drive format for your USB storage device.

5. Select the Enable remote configuration of user consent policy option if you want to allow the

administrator to override the client system's user consent policy.

6. Select the OOB Provisioning (enabling will start hello packets immediately) option if you want to

send hello packets immediately.

7. Select the Consumable Records option to record the systems that are provisioned.

The USB provision key is created.

Client Selection

This feature discovers provisioned Dell client systems on the network.

NOTE: If you have installed Dell Command | Intel vPro Out of Band to manage your Dell KACE AMT

assets, the discovery feature is unavailable as discovery operations are managed by your Dell KACE

software.

NOTE: Windows firewall may block your client systems from being discovered by Dell Command |

Intel vPro Out of Band. Ensure that you have disabled the firewall prior to running a discovery task.

1. Launch Dell Command | Intel vPro Out of Band.
