About Intel AMT initialization

Setup Initialized computers enter the setup mode and start requesting
configuration by sending Hello messages to the computer with the
ProvisionServer host name. The ProvisionServer computer is the OOB site
server that you installed in your environment.
See "About OOB site servers"
You must configure DNS to resolve the ProvisionServer host name to that
server.
See "About configuring DNS"
Configuration When the OOB site server computer (by default, the Notification Server
computer) receives a Hello message, a configuration process is initiated.
The Intel AMT computer gets configured with the appropriate
configuration settings that you defined in the Intel AMT configuration
profile.

Initialization (previously known as pre-provisioning) is the process of populating
the client Intel AMT computers with the Provisioning ID and the Provisioning
Pre-Shared Key (PID-PPS) pairs. These pairs are needed for secure communications
during the setup and configuration process.
Depending on your infrastructure and the Intel AMT firmware version, you can
use the following methods of initialization:
Remote The zero-touch Remote Configuration method is the easiest way of
Configuration initializing a large amount of Intel AMT computers. This method
works on Intel AMT 3.0 or later. This method requires you to purchase
a certificate.
Using this feature does not require you to visit the physical location
of the computer with Intel AMT.
