Resending Hello messages with the Delayed Configuration policy

When you power-on an Intel AMT computer for the first time, the Intel AMT
device starts sending configuration requests to the OOB site server computer (by
default, the Notification Server computer) for 6 hours (24 hours for Intel AMT 3.0
and later).
If for some reason the Intel AMT device is not configured during this time, you
can remotely restart the sending of requests in one of the following ways:
Enable the Delayed Configuration policy (Intel AMT 3.0 and later only).
See "Resending Hello messages with the Delayed Configuration policy"
on page 89.
Run the Send Intel AMT Hello Message task (Intel AMT 3.0 and later only).
See "Resending Hello messages with the Send Intel AMT Hello Message task"
on page 90.
Visit the Intel AMT computer location, unplug the computer for 20 seconds,
and then plug it in again (all Intel AMT versions).
The Delayed Configuration policy lets you re-open the Intel AMT interface for
the computers that are in the delayed configuration state for another 6 hours.
Computers that entered the delayed configuration state appear in the All Intel
AMT Computers in Delayed Configuration State filter.
Resending Hello messages with the Delayed Configuration policy is an in-band
functionality and requires the Windows operating system to be running and the
Altiris Agent to be installed on the Intel AMT computer. Delayed Configuration
requires that you use DHCP in your environment.
You can also use the Delayed Configuration policy to start the Remote
Configuration sequence on computers with Intel AMT 2.2 and 2.6.
See "About resending Hello messages"
To enable the Delayed Configuration policy
1 Install the Altiris Agent on the Intel AMT computers, if it is not already
installed.
See "Installing the Altiris Agent"
2 Install the Out of Band Task Agent on the client computer, if it is not already
installed.
