Maintenance tasks
You can create independent schedules for each possible configuration, such as reissuance of
certificates, renewal of passwords, synchronization of Intel
®
AMT time, and network settings.
When the maintenance task is executed, these actions are initiated based on the Intel
®
AMT system
configuration:
RCS Maintenance — This action is initiated for Intel
®
AMT systems in Admin Control mode. Selected
maintenance activities are performed.
HBC Maintenance — This action is initiated for Intel
®
AMT system in Client Control mode. Delta
configuration to synchronize all recent changes in the host-based configuration profile is performed,
irrespective of the options selected.
The maintenance client task provides these options (applicable only to systems in Admin Control
mode):
Synchronize AMT Time — Synchronizes the clock of the Intel
®
AMT device with the clock of the computer
running the Intel
®
RCS service. This task is performed automatically when any of the other tasks
are performed.
Synchronize Network Settings — Synchronizes network settings of the Intel
®
AMT device based on these:
Fully qualified domain name

DDNS and DHCP Option 81
Re-Issue AMT Certificates — Reissues the certificates stored in the Intel

contains 802.1x certificates, the Intel
®
