The /svr/tftp/z_auto.cfg file may not contain the same information as /svr/tftp/
z_auto65.cfg, so that when you rename it with the 65, it might have different content than
the file used for ZENworks 6.5 servers. Therefore, for ZENworks 7.2 do not simply copy the
z_auto65.cfg file instead of renaming the z_auto.cfg file.
No files need to be copied for servers running the following ZENworks versions:
ZENworks 7 (running on a Linux server)

Downloading and Installing the iAMT Redirection Drivers
After a device has had its AMT resources provisioned, those resources can be accessed locally by
the ZENworks implementation of AMT. However, before you can provision a device's resources,
you need to install the iAMT Redirection Drivers from Intel. You can do this on one device, then
send the result to the other devices that need the drivers, as outlined in the steps below.
The following are required to be installed and operational on the device where you initially install
the drivers:
The Linux kernel source
GCC (gnu c compiler)
To download and install the device drivers:
1 In a Web browser, access
projects/e1000/)
2 Click the green Download Intel(R) PRO/10/100/1000/10GbE Drivers option.
3 In the Latest File Releases section, select the iAMT Redirection Drivers option.
4 Click the green Download option.
5 In the Filename column under iAMT Redirection Drivers, click the iamt-1.1.8.tar.gz option (or
later version) and save the file to a location on your network.
6 Unzip the .tar.gz file and decompress the iamt-1.1.8.tar (or later version) file.
7 To install the drivers, follow the instructions contained in the Readme file that is contained in
the .tar file.
