About Intel AMT Setup and Configuration Service

About Intel AMT versions and features

Intel AMT is a solution that is based in hardware and firmware and is connected
to the system's auxiliary power plane. Despite the power state or the operating
system state of the client computer, Intel AMT provides IT administrators with
access to alerts, hardware inventory, power management, network filtering, and
agent presence functionality. Intel AMT functionality requires the computer to
be plugged into the power source and connected to the network. Intel AMT
functionality does not require a software agent to be installed on the client
computer.
Altiris Out of Band Management Component, Altiris Real-Time Console
Infrastructure, and Altiris Real-Time System Manager software support Intel
AMT 2.0 and later.
See "About configuring Intel AMT computers for out-of-band management"

Intel AMT Setup and Configuration Service (Intel SCS) provides you with the tools
to set up and configure Intel AMT devices. Intel SCS is automatically installed on
the OOB site server computer (by default, the Notification Server computer).
See "About OOB site servers"
Intel SCS installation creates a new database on the SQL server. This database
stores configuration parameters and administrative connection credentials for
each Intel AMT computer that you set up and configure with Out of Band
Management Component. Out of Band Management Component integrates Intel
SCS into the Symantec Management Platform and provides the interface for Intel
SCS in the Symantec Management Console.
Out of Band Management Component supports several versions of Intel AMT.
