This pops up anothe page which has a lot of options. Please advise. The Vostro series is not on my list of Intel vPro Technology ready systems so you might want to verify with Dell that they are Intel vPro capable. Intel has provided several methods that can be used to setup and configure the Intel AMT firmware. The best method for you depends on your environment and your goals.
For example, if you are using Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager you can configure the systems remotely and then manage them with the same Microsoft tools. If you don't have a console with this capability the Activation Wizard has a list , you can use the free Intel Setup and Configuration Service a download is available on this site. If your company requires you to use certificate based security when doing the remote setup and configuration, then you can do that using the built-in certificates in each Intel AMT system you will need to buy the corresponding certificate for the configuration server , or you can use a couple other methods to get the certificates use pre-shared keys or an internal certificate authority.
My suggestion is to look at the options in Step 4 of the vPro site, choose some options and get to the final screen with a recomendation based on your specific environment. Then you can configure a couple systems in your lab using the manual configuration method so you can test how you are going to remotely manage the systems. You can use different methods to provision a client system. Some provisioning methods require physical interaction with the client system.
However, remote configuration is a provisioning option that allows a client system to be provisioned with zero physical interaction. Remote configuration is ideal for systems that have already been deployed into an environment, but haven't yet been provisioned, allowing IT to provision systems without visiting each system individually.
To use remote configuration for provisioning a system, you need a special remote configuration RCFG certificate. This video gives a step-by-step procedure on how to set up the remote configuration certificate. The video shows you how to acquire, set up, and install the certificate for remote configuration. For wireless devices on battery or AC power, out-of-band OOB communication is available when the system is connected to the corporate network, even if the OS is down. OOB communication is also available for wireless or wired notebooks that are connected to the corporate network over a host OS-based virtual private network VPN when notebooks are working properly.
This wireless profile is pushed to the client using one of several methods. This video describes how to:. Contact support. I f you have got laptops with Intel vPro feature then you must explore more about this feature.
