I witnessed our Internal IT guys defining a BKM that I thougth was very relevant to share out to the community, therefore let me explain.

 

Challenge: How can you use a mgmt console to read the AMT version so you can write a report in your mgmt console?

 

Output: You need to have a value placed into the registry that has data whether it's all of the BIOS, MEBx, SOL, HECI, etc.. driver versions, then you can read this data into a mgmt report.

 

Solution: run MEInfowin.exe and redirect the output to a text file using the “>” operator

Example --

 

 

 

Then you need the write a program in your favorite language such as VB script or C# to read through that text file and write the desired into to the registry.

 

Then use your mgmt console to read these values & report out. The internal IT guys are doing this to check versions.

 

Thanks Intel IT folks for the BKM.
