Configuring the automatic Intel AMT configuration profile assignment

Configuring Intel AMT wireless settings
(Intel AMT 2.5, 2.6, 4.0, and 6.0 only)
Wireless profiles are used to configure Intel AMT 2.5, 2.6, 4.0, 6.0 wireless settings.
A wireless profile defines which protocols are used between an Intel AMT device
and a wireless access point when the Intel AMT computer is in a sleep state and
the operating system s wireless settings are not accessible. Wireless profiles
conform to IEEE 802.11i.
For the computers that are used in different wireless environments, different
wireless profiles can be created and associated with a configuration profile.
An Intel AMT notebook computer that is configured with a wireless profile offers
full Intel AMT management functionality through the wireless connection, except
for setup and configuration. Setup and configuration is possible only through a
wired network connection.
See "Creating Intel AMT configuration profiles"
To create a wireless profile
1 In the Symantec Management Console, on the Settings menu, click All
Settings.
2 In the left pane, click Remote Management > Out of Band Management >
Configuration Service Settings > Auxiliary Profiles > Wireless Profiles.
3
On the Wireless Profiles page, click the Add symbol.
4 In the Add Wireless Profile dialog box, configure the wanted settings and
click OK.
See "Auxiliary Profiles: Wireless Profiles page"
The Resource Synchronization policy let you automatically map a configuration
profile to Intel AMT computers in an unconfigured state.
For the automatic mapping to work, you must let Out of Band Management
Component detect the FQDN of the Intel AMT device.
You can do this in the following ways:
If you want to configure a managed Intel AMT computer with the Altiris Agent
installed, let the Altiris Agent register with Notification Server and send basic
inventory.
Basic inventory includes the UUID of the Intel AMT device and the FQDN that
is used by the operating system. Out of Band Management Component assigns
this FQDN to the Intel AMT device at the time of setup and configuration.
