A Closer Look at ConfigMgr SP2

Posted by Trevor Sullivan on Jul 22, 2009 9:51:09 AM

Matt Royer wrote in June about some of the new AMT-related features being included in Service Pack 2 for Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007. I recently installed ConfigMgr SP2 in my lab environment, and wanted to follow up on Matt's post by sharing some screenshots of the new AMT features, for those of you that may not be beta testing SP2

 

** The updated AMT Settings screen, which now features the option to set the power package for the management controller.

** The new Provisioning Schedule screen (no more editing your sitectrl.ct0 file!)

** The new main 802.1x & Wireless Profile Configuration screen (there are a couple of detail screens below)

** The new Wireless Profile Detail screen

I don't have a provisioned client in my lab yet, but once I do, I will see if I can investigate the updated Microsoft OOB Console, and capture some screenshots. As Matt's post stated, there should be added functionality for inputting information into the 3PDS (Third-party data store), so I assume there will at least be that change.

 

Cheers,

Hi Trevor,

Great article! Looking forward to seeing more information on ConfigMgr SP2 and OOB managment.

BTW -- are any other vPro features enabled by SP2? Wondering about hardware security filters and agent checking and alerting.

Thanks!

Tom

Hello Tom,

 

I am unaware of any other features being added into ConfigMgr SP2. I would personally love to see comprehensive support for vPro, particularly some of the newer, advanced features, such as CIRA and Intel Anti-Theft.

 

Thanks for your comment

 

Cheers,

Hello Tom,

 

I have a customer who is having a problem disabling the AMT power state function over a mass amount of Optiplex 755 machines. Of course he can disable the function one machine at a time via USB key but there are over 1000 units being effected. Do you know of a scripting tool they can deploy to do this?
