Configure Intel AMT systems using remote configuration policy
Create and enforce a remote configuration policy and select the Intel
®
RCS server and configuration
profile to be used.
Before you begin
• Make sure that the RCS Manager plug-in properties have been collected. Navigate to the
system properties page of the Intel
®
RCS server, select McAfee ePO Deep Command RCS Manager
Plugin in the Products tab .
• To configure wireless connections, make sure that the clients are present in the wired
network during the configuration process. Once the configuration is complete, you can
connect to the client using wireless according to the settings provided in the profile
used.
• The required WMI and DCOM permissions are applied automatically when you deploy
the RCS Manager plug-in. However, if they can't be updated due to any environmental
restrictions, the remote configuration might fail. In such scenarios, apply them
manually. See Validate permissions.
Intel
®
RCS system uses Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) to perform remote
configuration. There might be a delay in remote configuration if the number of WMI
requests on the system exceeds the maximum number of requests that can be processed
at a time.
