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)

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,

Win7, SCCM SP2 & vPro

Posted by Josh Hilliker Apr 29, 2009

Today at MMS (Microsoft Management Summit) Brad Anderson showed a new use case we have been working on around Windows 7, SCCM SP2 & Intel vPro Technology.  The specific use case is how to do an upgrade with user data while the state of the machine is powered down.   This usage of vPro allows for OOB power up, then win7 installation begins.   Here's what we will be posting shortly to help answer any questions you may have around this use case:

 

* Video of MMS & Brad showing this use case

* Use case flow document that shows what technology is being leveraged

 

What we have found in the lab, which I will publish out over the coming weeks, is that this technology works really well together and can make your win7 deployment easier.   Please let me know your questions and tune back here for more of the data, specifics & use cases.
