Intel® vPro™ and Intel® Centrino® Pro Processor Technology Quick Start Guide o Intel vPro system becomes unreachable if OS/AMT host names go out of sync o Some Intel vPro systems are shipped with management mode disabled. Remote Configuration must be enabled by a local software tool For more information about the Activator, see the Intel® vPro™ Technology Activator Utility user guide, which is available at http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-vpro-technology-activator-utility/. Skip to Step 5: Discover Intel vPro Clients through the Management Console, on page 15. Using one of the certificates provided with Intel vPro: If you want to use one of the certificates provided with Intel vPro, you will need to purchase a matching root certificate, and load it onto your SCS server. Once a matching root certificate is present on the provisioning server, the Intel vPro clients will automatically authenticate themselves with the provisioning server at power on, and will then automatically be provisioned by the provisioning server. The certificates are purchased from one of the approved Certificate Authority (CA) vendors, such as VeriSign, Comodo, Go Daddy, and Starfield. Check with your OEM to see which of these CA vendors they support. The detail steps to purchase the certificate is available at http://communities.intel.com/docs/DOC-1916. Once the pending certificate request has been completed with the .CER file provided, the target website used for this process has been assigned the issued certificate. In addition, a backup copy of the certificate is recommended. In SCS 5.0, which is part of the HP OOBMC 4.0 distribution, the loadcert.exe is no longer needed. Therefore it is not necessary to run the last step "Run LoadCert.exe to Complete the Certificate Process" of the certificate import procedure described in the http://communities.intel.com/docs/DOC-1916. For more about how remote configuration works, please refer to Intel_AMT_SCS_Console_Guide.pdf, Appendix A. If you want to use one of the certificates provided with Intel vPro, the clients will already have a certificate hash that matches the purchased root certificate on your provisioning server. This will allow Intel vPro clients to establish a secure communication channel to exchange the certificate information to ensure the authenticity of the Intel vPro clients. But the provisioning process still depends on the Intel vPro Technology Activator to initiate the process, which is described in the previous section "Using your own root certificate". For more information about the Activator, see the Intel® vPro™ Technology Activator Utility user guide, which is available at the following website: http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-vpro-technology-activator-utility/.
