Hello Intel vPro Community!

 

I'm going to talk to you today a little bit about how to use Windows Powershell to set Intel vPro power profiles. I'll provide a quick bit of background first on what power profiles are, and why you'd want to be able to set them with Powershell.

 

Intel vPro power profiles are nothing more than a setting in the Management Engine that tells the AMT chip when to be powered up, and when not to be powered up. In some cases, you may want vPro to be inactive during sleep states, or after the computer has lost power (eg. UPS failure).

 

In my case however, I want vPro to be always active. This is problematic, because Microsoft Configuration Manager's implementation of a provisioning server doesn't give you the option of setting the active power profile. Instead, during provisioning, ConfigMgr sets the active profile to whatever index "5" is. You'll actually see this in the amtopmgr.log file on your OOB (Out-Of-Band) service point during the provisioning process.

 

Because ConfigMgr decides the default power profile during provisioning, I've decided that I wanted to change it. Because Windows Powershell is an awesome automation tool, and because Intel's AMT Developer Toolkit (DTK) offers a .NET library that I can use in Powershell, I figured that I would figure out how to do it!

 

--------------------

 

You might remember my last post on how to use Powershell to connect to an AMT device. The process basically involves loading the aforementioned .NET DLL from the DTK, and then establishing a connection to the device. I didn't really get the opportunity to show you how to do a whole lot with it after making the connection though, so that's the purpose of this post! Let's go ahead and take a look at a few lines of Powershell code, so you can understand the retrieval, and setting of power profiles.

 

-------------------------------------------------

 

# In my last Powershell script, I used the $amtdevice variable

# to reference the AmtSystem .NET object. We'll assume at this point

# that you have already connected to the AMT device based

# on my last article.

$amtdevice

 

# By using the .NET Reflector tool, we can see that the AmtSystem

# object has a property called SecurityAdmin, which returns an AmtSecurityAdmin

# object.

$AmtSecAdmin = $AmtDevice.SecurityAdmin

 

# The AmtSecurityAdmin object has a method called GetPowerPackages().

# After examining this data type in .NET Reflector, we can filter for only the two

# properties we want to see, the profile ID, and its Name. We'll use the Powershell

# Select-Object cmdlet to filter this data.

$AmtSecAdmin.GetPowerPackages() | Select-Object -Property ID,Name

# You should get some output looking something like this:

# 12834f94-10fb-dc4f-968e-1e232b0c9065 Desktop: ON in S0
# ab0086a1-7f9a-424c-a6e6-bb243a295d9e Desktop: ON in S0, S3
# acab8672-b496-e248-9b9e-9b7df91c7fd4 Desktop: ON in S0, S3, S4-5
# 4dcd327b-be6b-8943-a62a-4d7bd8dbd026 Desktop: ON in S0, ME Wake in S3
# 46732273-dc23-2f43-a98a-13d37982d855 Desktop: ON in S0, ME Wake in S3, S4-5
# baa419c5-6f6e-4d8d-b227-517f7e4595db Desktop: ON in S0, S3, S4-5, OFF After Power Loss
# ede30bd6-c504-462c-b772-d18018ee2fc4 Desktop: ON in S0, ME Wake in S3, S4-5, Off After Power Loss

 

# Once we have a listing of the power profiles available on the AMT device

# we can get the one that we want, and then set it. Since I always want my

# AMT device active, no matter the system's power state, I'm going to choose

# "Desktop: ON in S0, S3, S4-5" which is index 2 (in a zero-based collection).

$TargetPowerProfile = ($AmtSecAdmin.GetPowerPackages())[2]

 

# Now that I have a variable referencing the target power profile, I will set the

# profile on the AMT device. The AmtSecurityAdmin object has a method called

# SetActivePowerPackage() that takes one parameter: the power profile we have

# a reference to.

$AmtResult = $AmtSecAdmin.SetActivePowerPackage($TargetPowerProfile)

"Setting power profile to $($TargetPowerProfile.Name) resulted in $AmtResult!"

 

##### End Setting Power Profile #####

 

# Let's also take a quick look at how to get some basic information about

# the AMT device's provisioning data. We can figure out if IDE-R, SoL, and the

# WebUI are enabled. We'll use the AmtGeneralInfo object for this.

 

# Get a reference to the AmtGeneralInfo object

$AmtInfo = $amtdevice.Info

 

# Write out the current configuration settings

"SOL Enabled: $AmtInfo.SerialOverLanEnabled"

"IDE-R Enabled: $AmtInfo.IdeRedirectEnabled"

"WebUI Enabled: $AmtInfo.WebUiEnabled"

-------------------------------------------------

 

I hope this helps get you on your way to doing some cool Powershell / vPro automation! Let me know whether or not this helps you in your endeavors

Hello vPro community!

 

I rather quickly posted the Powershell code I got functioning yesterday just to make sure that I didn't forget to post it at some point, but if you're new to Powershell, you might not understand everything that's going on here. If I left your head spinning, then I apologize, but tonight, I'm wrapping back around to help describe to you the thought process behind the script I posted!

 

On top of that, once I put together some notes from earlier today, I will post later on about some of my newest findings! To give you a teaser, I found a method of setting AMT power profiles using Powershell code! I'll be sure to get this posted as soon as I can, but for now, I think it would be most beneficial to understand the basics of connecting to a vPro system.

 

I'm going to step through the script line-by-line and leave some comments about each of them. Comments will be denoted by lines beginning with a pound sign (#). This is because Powershell uses this character as a "comment" character.

 

If you're experienced with .NET, then you'll probably either already know about, or want to get familiar with, the tool known as the .NET Reflector. This utility allows you to "reflect" over a .NET library, and discover the objects, methods, and properties that are available to you to use in your Powershell scripts. It's not always a simple task to figure out how to use .NET objects, especially if there is either poor documentation, or none at all, but this tool definitely makes it easier.

 

----------------------------------

 

# The following 6 lines are simply variables that we are setting

# to make troubleshooting and customizing our script easier.

# We will be instantiating (creating) an object of the data type

# "AmtSystem" that requires these values as params to its

# constructor method.

 

# This is the domain\userID we want to authenticate as

$amtusername = "vprodemo\DomainUser"

 

# This is the password for the user account to authenticate
$amtpassword = "P@SSW0Rd"

 

# This is the FQDN of the vPro client system we want to connect to
$amthostname = "vproclient.vprodemo.com"

 

# This is the TCP port that we want to connect to the vPro client on

# TCP 16993 is used for TLS communications to AMT clients

$amtport = 16993

 

# This parameter determines whether or not your password is

# saved in the AmtSystem object (I think)
$amtrecallpassword = $false

 

# I haven't verified this, but I believe that this parameter determines

# whether or not WS-MAN is used exclusively on vPro clients

# that support it. Otherwise, it will attempt to use EOI (SOAP).
$amtwebservicesonly = $false

 

# Next, this variable stores the path to the "Manageability Stack.dll"

# which is included with the Intel AMT Developer Toolkit (DTK).

# Be sure to download the latest version from the Intel website.

# This DLL is a .NET library, written in C#, that provides an API

# to interact with Intel vPro clients.

$manageabilitystack = "C:\Program Files\Intel\Manageability Developer Tool Kit\0.6.08325.2\Manageability Stack.dll"

 

# This line uses the built-in Assembly class (part of .NET reflection)

# to load the .NET DLL containing the AMT API. The Out-Null Powershell

# cmdlet is used to suppress any console output of the LoadFile() method.

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile("$ManageabilityStack") | Out-Null

 

# The Write-Host cmdlet is built into Powershell and simply writes

# some text to the console. We are using inline variables to dynamically

# display the information about the client we're connecting to.

Write-Host "Connecting to $amthostname on port $amtport"

 

# This is the line that's actually getting the object that we will use to

# reference our target Intel AMT client. We are creating a global variable

# name "amtdevice" and setting its value to a "New-Object" of datatype

# ManageabilityStack.AmtSystem (you can use .NET Reflector to find this)

# and then passing the parameters that we defined before to its constructor.

# If the below line wraps in your browser, please be sure to put it all on one line in your script.

$global:amtdevice = New-Object ManageabilityStack.AmtSystem -ArgumentList $amthostname,$amtport,$amtusername,$amtpassword,$amtrecallpassword,$amtwebservicesonly

 

# Footnote: With respect to variable scope in Powershell, the reason I am

# defining this as a global variable explicitly, is because if you copy and paste

# this code into a script, and then run that script from within an interactive

# Powershell session, the $amtdevice will now be defined as global to the session

# and will not be deleted when the script exits. This allows you to run the script to

# retrieve the device object, but then continue to work with it interactively once

# the connection is established!

 

# Tell the AmtSystem object that we want to use TLS

$amtdevice.UseTls = $true

# Enable WS-MAN support (if available) on the connection
$amtdevice.WsManSupport = $true

 

# Once we've set up all of our configuration options about the connection,

# this next line actually establishes the connection.

$amtdevice.Connect()

 

# The "State" property of the AmtSystem object is "Connecting" until the

# connection either succeeds or fails. We want to monitor the status until

# this occurs.

while ($amtdevice.State -eq "Connecting") { Start-Sleep 1 }

 

# Finally, once the connection either succeeds or fails, we write out the

# State property to the console so that we know what the outcome was.

Write-Host "AMT device is in state $($amtdevice.State.ToString())"

 

-----------------------------------

 

So, there you have it. That is the code, with my comments inline. If you have any questions or feedback on my articles, please feel free to comment on this blog article. I will try my best to answer them, although please understand that I am still working on comprehending this great API! If this is useful to any of you, I would like to know that, and if not, then please recommend something that you would like to hear about!

 

As promised, I will eventually write another follow-up article on how you can set Management Engine (ME) power profiles on a provisioned AMT client remotely, using Powershell! Until next time ...

 

Happy Powershell Scripting!!

Hello Intel vPro Experts!

 

I've started putting together a document on some issues that I've encountered during my experiences with Intel vPro and ConfigMgr. You can access this document right here on the vPro Expert Center: http://communities.intel.com/docs/DOC-2362

 

Please provide feedback on the document. It's not of very high quality just yet, because I only started writing it last night, but I hope to keep it updated, to provide a valuable resource to other IT folk interested in using Intel vPro.

Hello everyone!

 

I have been working on understanding the Intel AMT Developer's Toolkit (DTK) so that I can begin developing some custom tools around Intel vPro. One of the tools that I am planning on working with is Microsoft's Windows Powershell. Windows Powershell is a very powerful, object-oriented command-line replacement for Windows XP, Vista, 2003, and 2008. It's an administrative scripting language that is significantly more powerful than VBscript, and has the entire power of the Microsoft .NET Platform behind it.

 

Just today, I've had my first success in using the Intel DTK with Windows Powershell, in my quest to automate Intel vPro related tasks using Powershell!

 

This is some really cool stuff, and I just had to get it out there to share with the community. I can't wait to see what else people build off of this!

 

Here is the first sample code that I've gotten to function correctly. I'm using it against a Dell Optiplex 755 running AMT firmware version 3.2.1, which was provisioned through ConfigMgr SP1.

 

-------------

 

$amtusername = "vprodemo\DomainUser"
$amtpassword = "P@SSW0Rd"
$amthostname = "vproclient.vprodemo.local"
$amtport = 16993
$amtrecallpassword = $false
$amtwebservicesonly = $false


$manageabilitystack = "C:\Program Files\Intel\Manageability Developer Tool Kit\Manageability Stack.dll"


[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile("$ManageabilityStack") | Out-Null
Write-Host "Connecting to $amthostname on port $amtport"
$amtdevice = New-Object ManageabilityStack.AmtSystem $amthostname,$amtport,$amtusername,$amtpassword,$amtrecallpassword,$amtwebservicesonly
$amtdevice.UseTls = $true
$amtdevice.WsManSupport = $true
Write-Host "TLS: $($amtdevice.UseTls), WsMan Support: $($amtdevice.WsManSupport)"
$amtdevice.Connect()


while ($amtdevice.State -eq "Connecting")
{
Start-Sleep 1
}
Write-Host "AMT device is in state $($amtdevice.State.ToString())"

 

-------------

 

Unfortunately that's all I can post for now, but I definitely plan on continuing work on this development!

Hello,

 

This is my first contribution to the Intel vPro Expert center, and although I would not consider myself an expert on this product, I've still been graciously allowed to post here. Thanks Josh!

 

I'd like to start out by introducing myself. My name is Trevor Sullivan, and I am a desktop systems engineer at a large retail corporation. Over the past 8 months or so, I've been working quite a bit with several people from Intel and Microsoft to better understand the Intel vPro technology, and how it can benefit my company. Overall, I'm really impressed with the technology, and I am fortunate enough to be working with an environment that has a pretty decent install base of Intel vPro-enabled systems.

 

I'd like to take a few minutes to explain a few issues that we recently experienced with our production vPro implementation.

 

 

-

Provisioning Certificate Chain Invalid

 

We're using Intel vPro with Microsoft Configuration Manager 2007 SP1, and for a while, we had been running into issues that prevented us from provisioning a vPro device. It turns out that the reasoning behind this was related to our provisioning certificate. We requested a certificate from Verisign, and imported it into our central SCCM site server. We have several child primaries to our central SCCM primary site server, however, and we were using the same provisioning certificate on those systems (Intel confirmed that this was possible).

 

 

 

 

 

When I exported the certificate (using the Certificates MMC snap-in), with its private key, from my central SCCM site server, I did not choose the option to export the certificate chain with it. Importing the certificate, with its private key, went just fine on the other SCCM primaries, but provisioning just didn't work. After working with Bill York from Intel for several hours, it was finally determined that the Verisign Class 3 Intermediate Certificate Authority's public key certificate was expired in the Intermediate certificate store on the SCCM site server running the out-of-band (OOB) service point. I imported the updated Verisign Intermediate certificate into the server's Intermediate CA certificate store, which resolved the issue I was having.

 

 

 

 

 

If you are experiencing this specific problem, you should see something like the following in your amtopmgr.log on the SCCM site server running the OOB service point:

 

 

 

 

 

Try to use provisioning account to connect target machine vprosystem.subdomain.mydomain.com...

Server unexpectedly disconnected when TLS handshaking.

**** Error 0x382b948 returned by ApplyControlToken

 

 

 

 

Although this probably should have been obvious to me, I did not actually open the provisioning certificate on the server I had imported the certificate on, to verify that the certificate was valid. If I had done so, I would have seen a message stating that the certificate was invalid, and then I could have looked at the certificate chain tab to see that the Verisign Intermediate CA's certificate was not valid. After examining the certificate for the Intermediate CA, it was determined that it had expired, causing my provisoning certificate to become invalid.

 

 

 

-

Microsoft PKI -Auto-Approval of Pending Certificate Requests

 

 

After resolving the certificate issue, we started seeing another issue. This issue was related to our internal Microsoft PKI. The next symptom we saw was again in the amtopmgr.log file (+in case you haven't figured it out, this is probably the most useful AMT log in SCCM). Here are the messages we saw:

 

Send request to AMT proxy component to generate client certificate. (MachineId = 60752)

Successfully created instruction file for AMT proxy task: D:\SMS\inboxes\amtproxymgr.box

RETRY(1) - Validate client certificate for AMT device vprosystem.subdomain.mydomain.com being generated.

Error: Missed device certificate. To provision device with TLS server or Mutual authentication mode, device certficate is required. (MachineId = 60752)

Error: Can't finish provision on AMT device vprosystem.subdomain.mydomain.com with configuration code (0)!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Provision task end<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

 

 

 

 

What this is telling you, is that the OOB service point was unsuccessful with its attempt to generate and retrieve a web server certificate, for the vPro client, from your internal Microsoft CA (either root or subordinate, but in our case, a subordinate). Although we had duplicated and configured the web server certificate template on our CA, the certificate was not getting created as we expected. The issue, in this case, was that our CA was not configured to automatically approve pending certificate requests.

 

 

 

 

In order to resolve this issue, follow these steps:

 

 

 

 

1. Open the Certification Authority MMC snap-in and connect to your CA

2. Right-click the CA node, and select Properties

3. Select the "Policy Module" tab

4. Click the Properties button

5. Choose the lower radio button (It reads: "Follow the settings in the certificate template, if applicable. Otherwise, automatically issue the certificate.")

6. Click OK on all dialog boxes

7. Restart the CA service, to allow the setting to take effect

 

 

 

 

-

 

I have a few more issues I'd like to talk about, mostly related to DNS. I will post again with details.

 

 

 

 

Thanks for reading,

Sometimes within Intel Marketing, we're told that our description of Intel Centrino with vPro technology or Intel Core 2 with vPro technology is a bit lengthy. Therefore, while at MMS 08, we asked Intel customers as well as technical experts from Intel and Microsoft to give us their best, most concise acronym that best describes Intel vPro Technology. Listen to their responses below.

When Intel released Intel vPro technology into the marketplace in 2006, the press asked us what the "v" in Intel vPro technology meant. Now that the technology has been in the marketplace for almost two years, we thought that the best answer to the question, "What does the "v" in Intel vPro technology mean to you?" would come from Intel customers, as well as from some of the technical experts from Intel and our partners who deal with our customers on an almost daily basis. See their answers below.
