About managing Intel AMT computers without the Altiris Agent installed

get a feel for configuring computers and performing basic tasks. In a lab
environment, you can install the SQL server and the OOB site server on the same
computer where you installed Notification Server.
We recommend that you configure the Altiris Agent settings for evaluation use.
See "Configuring the Altiris Agent settings for evaluation use"
To reduce server workload in production environment, we recommend that you
use different computers for Notification Server, SQL server, and OOB site server.
Depending on the amount of Intel AMT computers in your enterprise and the
number of geographic locations, you can install more OOB site servers.
See "About planning OOB site servers hierarchy"
To use the full set of features that Altiris solutions offer, we recommend that you
install the Altiris Agent on the computers in your environment. However, Out of
Band Management Component lets you set up and configure the Intel AMT
computers that do not have the Altiris Agent installed.
If you choose not to install the Altiris Agent on the computers with Intel AMT,
you cannot perform the following actions:
Discover unconfigured Intel AMT capable computers in your environment.
Use other Altiris solutions to run in-band management tasks (for example,
software inventory, software installation, and so on) on these computers.
Run the jobs that contain in-band tasks. For example, turn on the computer
(out-of-band) > collect software inventory (in-band) > run a script (in-band) >
turn off the computer (out-of-band).
Use the Delayed Setup and Configuration policy or Send Intel AMT Hello
message task to reset an unconfigured Intel AMT device remotely without
touching the computer.
Initialize computers with Intel AMT 2.2. and 2.6 using the Remote
Configuration feature.
With agentless Intel AMT computers you can perform the following actions:
Use Out of Band Management Component to set up and configure known Intel
