Initializing computers manually through MEBx
Manual initialization through MEBx requires significantly more time and is more
prone to errors, because you must manually type all of the information. In general,
use the USB key initialization if you can.
See
“Initializing computers manually using a USB key”
on page 77.
If you have Intel AMT 3.0 or later computers in your environment, try the Remote
Configuration method.
See
“Initializing Intel AMT computers using the Remote Configuration feature”
on page 65.
You must use the manual Intel AMT initialization through MEBx in the following
situations:
■
You have accessed the computer MEBx and changed the factory default MEBx
password, and thus cannot use the USB initialization method.
■
You have not configured the DNS to resolve the ProvisionServer host name
to the OOB site server computer (by default, the Notification Server computer).
See
“About configuring DNS”
on page 33.
(You can still use the USB key method, but you must enter the MEBx after
initialization and manually type the IP address of the OOB site server).
■
You cannot use the other initialization methods.
■
You want to quickly configure a single computer for evaluation in enterprise
mode and make it manageable out of band.
After you initialize the computer, the computer entry should appear in the
Symantec Management Console, on the Intel AMT Systems page.
See
“Initializing Intel AMT computers manually ”
on page 76.
To manually initialize Intel AMT through MEBx
1
