Dell 755 Active Management Technology, 270, Advanced Functionality, Error Message Description

Active Management Technology

Intel Active Management Technology (iAMT) provides secure systems management capabilities that reduce IT costs and allow better discovery, healing, and protection of networked computing assets. With iAMT, computers can be managed regardless of whether the computer is on, off, or the operating system is hung.

NOTE: iAMT can be configured using Dell Client Manager (DCM) 2.1.1 or later. For complete information on how to configure iAMT, see the Dell Client Manager 2.1.1 (or later) documentation on www.dell.com\openmanage. For more information about Dell's iAMT implementation, see the Client Systems Management Administrator's Guide available on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com.

Key benefits of iAMT are:

•Reduced desk-side visits

•Automation of more management functionality through enablement of systems management console software

•Improved security

iAMT Features

Basic Functionality

•Ability to discover, track, and inventory assets in the presence or absence of the operating systems. The computer must have the power cable connected and must be connected to the network.

•Ability to power on and power off the computer remotely, whatever the state of the operating system.

Advanced Functionality

NOTE: Additional management software and purchasing options are required for some of the following features.

•Ability to do remote issues remediation (1-to-1) via text-based console redirection (Serial-over-LAN) and IDE redirection.

•Hardened security via agent presence (enables detection of removed agents) and network access control (Circuit breaker) and software version control
