Automate Intel AMT policy enforcement
Create and use the server tasks to enforce Intel
®
AMT policies and turn on the remote Intel
®
AMT
systems at a scheduled time using out-of-band communication.
If you have many Intel
®
AMT systems in your network, executing this action on all them at once could
have a negative impact on your network by consuming too much bandwidth.
