About Out of Band Management Component
Altiris Out of Band Management Component software (formerly known as Altiris
Out of Band Management Solution) lets you discover computers with ASF, DASH,
and Intel AMT in your environment and configure the computers for out-of-band
management.
Out-of-band management is the ability to manage client computers regardless of
the state of their power, operating system, or management agents. You can
remotely change the power state of the computer, collect hardware inventory,
and perform other management tasks that would normally require a visit to a
client computer.
