Is Altiris RTSM Required to Configure and Use Intel vPro?

Terry Cutler — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 10:10:53 -0500

The short answer is "no". Altiris RTSM is not required to provision an Intel vPro system. In fact, Dell Client Manager - which does not include RTSM - can fully provision Intel vPro in enterprise mode. Therefore - the checklist at http://communities.intel.com/docs/DOC-2032 may be viewed as incorrect on the exact modules needed.

MF08 lab - Software Delivery and vPro Network Filtering

Terry Cutler — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 16:01:18 -0500

How much time and how many touchpoints are needed to remediate a client with security updates? Did you know Altiris Out-of-band management has a network filtering option which used the System Defense capabilities built into Intel vPro? Essentially - you can isolate a computer at the client's network interface. Even better, you can keep certain ports\communication open to ONLY the designated Altiris Notification Server - thus allowing delivery of critical software updates!!

What if a ProvisionServer is Not Available, Yet Systems Are Already Provisioned?

Terry Cutler — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 10:01:43 -0500

Sometimes it's just easier to adopt a technology that you're able to use "out-of-the-box" and don't have to spend excessive amounts of time trying to get it to a configured and operational state. Bypassing some of the advanced configurations may be sufficient, as long as you are able to "take-control" of the situation at a future date.

Using Out of Band Management with Intel SCS in a Multiple Notification Server Environment, Part 3: Non-NS Intel SCS

Joel Smith — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 14:03:49 -0500

Through trial and error I’ve come across a working method for installing Intel’s Setup and Configuration Service (SCS) on a server that does not have Notification Server, and thus Out of Band Management, installed. When NS is installed, all rights, etc, are already assumed by logging in as the Application Identity. Intel SCS installs fine this way, but when on a separate server certain prerequisites and configurations need to be met before the installed SCS will function properly.
