While at MMS, we had the opportunity to talk with D.C. Tardy, System Architect at EDS. He talked about the Return On Investment of Intel vPro technology, including a Canadian Call Center case study that returned a savings of almost $750,000 across 3 years. He also talked about the combination of System Center Configuration Manager with Intel vPro technology.

In Josh's blog post about "Stump the PRO" - he mentions WMI & ConfigMgr. I wanted to post a bit more context for everyone interested in that integration point.

 

 

Overview: ConfigMgr client agent uses WMI to query AMT via the HECI driver.

 

 

The Configuration Manager client agent ships with a new WMI provider for the AMT HECI driver. Additionally, we have extended the SMS_DEF.MOF file with new classes that support the WMI provider. This is used by the hardware inventory agent when returning information about the client computer. You'll find the data easily for your AMT computers using the resource explorer for an AMT computer. The information is categorized under a new resource called "AMT Agent"

 

 

The inventory from that agent make a great basis for building queries to use the in-band agent based provisioning method.

Hello to the vPro community!

 

I'm David Randall, and have been working in the Configuration Manager team over the last year to develop our integration with Intel's AMT hardware.

 

 

I recently attended MMS 2008, and was very happy to hear all the enthusiasm around the Configuration Manager integration, and your plans to use vPro in conjunction with ConfigMgr.

 

 

I plan to post here weekly with new information that we've learned about ConfigMgr / AMT integration, help you with some walk throughs, list interesting new uses for vPro and where possible, help you streamline your Configuration Manager deployment with vPro.

 

 

Thanks, and here's to out of band management!

 

 

David Randall

Program Manager, Microsoft
