Management Framework module
The ePO Deep Command Management Framework module delivers "beyond-the-operating system"
security management. This feature enables administrators to perform tasks such as to turn on
systems, execute security tasks, and return the Intel
®
AMT systems to their previous power state. This
component is required for performing Intel
®
AMT actions and Intel
®
AMT configuration. This module
adds these items to McAfee ePO console:
• Management client — This plug-in manages the core functionality to run client tasks, enforce
policies, and generate events. It is added to master repository when the software is installed, and
can be deployed to client systems using the predefined deployment task.
• Management client deployment task — This predefined deployment task is added to the Client
Task Catalog. You can deploy it to the managed systems you select.
• Management queries — These predefined queries retrieve information from Intel
®
AMT systems
that are managed by ePO Deep Command. You can modify these queries, or create custom
queries.
• Management Summary dashboard — This dashboard displays a collection of monitors based on
the results of the default ePO Deep Command Management queries.
• AMT actions — This action group lists the ePO Deep Command actions that can be performed on
managed Intel
®
AMT systems. These actions help you configure, unconfigure, manage, and enforce
policies to your Intel
®
AMT-equipped client systems.
• AMT policies — This category in the Policy Catalog includes options to create and assign policies for
using Intel
®
AMT features such as Alarm Clock, Client Initiated Local Access, Client Initiated Remote
Access, and KVM.
• Client Task Execution — This category in the Policy Catalog includes options to create and assign
policies for executing the Intel
®
AMT client-side actions such as running the arbitrary command and
parameters when turned on using the Power on action or the scheduled Alarm Clock.
• AMT configuration policies — This category in the Policy Catalog includes options to create and
assign policies for configuring or unconfiguring Intel
®
AMT systems.
• Gateway module — This module is installed on your Agent Handler. It facilitates communication
between McAfee ePO and managed Intel
®
AMT systems outside the enterprise environment (needed
for the Client-Initiated Remote Access feature).
Profile Manager module
The ePO Deep Command Profile Manager includes options on how you configure and unconfigure your
Intel
®
AMT systems using the remote configuration through McAfee ePO. This module adds these items
to McAfee ePO:
• RCS Manager plug-in — This plug-in retrieves configuration profiles from the Intel
®
RCS servers,
and reports back to McAfee ePO. It is added automatically to master repository during installation,
and can be deployed to Intel
®
RCS server systems using the predefined deployment task.
• RCS Management Summary dashboard — This dashboard displays a monitor that represents
the managed Intel
®
AMT systems by each Intel
®
RCS server.
• RCS Management queries — These predefined queries retrieve information from the ePO Deep
Command managed Intel
®
RCS servers. You can modify these queries, or create custom queries.
• Configuration Profile policy — This policy provides options to create a configuration profile to be
used for Intel
®
AMT configuration.
• Remote Configuration Service Policies — This policy allows you to set the timeout for the
remote connections.
