This week we had three of our team in Israel meeting with other Intel® vProTM technology developers. They worked on getting the latest features into our utilities that support the Intel® Setup and Configuration Services (SCS) for remote and one-touch client configurations as well as further synchronization on other utilities in our capability suiteincluding Manageability Commander.
The first utility to benefit from this trip is our Intel® SCS Setup Wizard for SCS 5.x which will release later this year. Two other utilities that will be releasing soon also benefitted. The Intel® Remote Configuration Certificate Utility and the Intel® Remote Configuration Certificate Scout are two programs targeted at helping determine the best security certificate to use when activating Intel® AMT in an enterprise with many generations of Intel® AMT firmware. We will publishing a white paper soon to further explain the issues these utilities address.
And, the teams established plans to align Intel® AMT Software Developer Kit functionality aligned with Manageability Commander, Director & Outpost.
And finally, we announce the release of the Intel® Remote Configuration Certificate Scout, a simple command line utility that allows users to query a system to detect Intel® AMT Firmware version and DHCP option 15 ‘DNS domain option name' settings. These values are useful for determining what type of remote configuration certificate your system can support. This utility supports Intel® AMT systems, and will work on either provisioned or unprovisioned systems.
