1. Click Start -> Programs -> RealVNC -> VNC Viewer Plus. 2. On the New Connection screen, set the following (the order is important): For Connection Mode select Intel AMT KVM. For AMT Server enter the intelpc.vprodemo.com name of the remotely managed Intel vPro technology based system. For Encryption select None. 3. Click Connect. 4. Enter your Intel AMT credentials. The document example uses admin, P@ssw0rd. Note: these credentials must have administrative rights to Intel AMT. 5. Click OK. 6. The KVM Remote Control session starts. Depending on how KVM Remote Control was configured you will either be prompted for user consent or be at the remote clients desktop. If the latter, you are done with these steps. Proceed to the conclusion paragraphs after these steps. 7. On the Managed Client screen a sprite is displayed with a consent code. Enter this code into the viewer window on the console. Note: Do not use the number pad. Once the code is entered you will have remote keyboard, video, and mouse control of the remote client. At this point it is almost as if you are sitting in front of the remote client. You can do many of the same things allowed by a VNC or RDP server such as walk the user through a set of steps, type in the users recovery passphrase, or install/uninstall software for the user. This reference design will only cover benefits of a KVM Remote Control session with Intel AMT over the current in band services mentioned above.

8. If you have not already done so, copy the Linux ISO file rds.iso (included in this Use Case Reference Designs download .zip file) to a location that is accessible to the Management Console System, such as the Management Console Systems hard drive. 9. Click the IDE-Redirection menu icon, shown in Figure 5 below.

10. Browse to the location where you copied the rds.iso file. Select the desired file and click Open. Be sure to click Share in the VNC Viewer Plus IDE-Redirection window (to share the ISO with the remote client). 11. Click Start > Shutdown > Restart (on the remote client) to restart the client and boot it to the ISO image you previously shared. If Windows is not running on the remote client, then click the Power button as shown in Figure below:

Lab 5

In this section you will create a backup copy of the remote Managed Clients registry on the Management Console system. This is done so that you can restore the remote Managed Clients registry if you accidentally corrupt it while editing it. 1. On the Management Console system, open Windows Explorer and create a new folder called C:\Remote_RegBack.j 2. In Windows Explorer, open the mapped drive to the Managed Clients hard drive (Q: in the document example) and navigate to Q:\sda2\Windows\System32\config. This step assumes that your remote Managed Clients hard drive is mapped to drive Q: and that its operating system is installed on the partition labeled sda2. 3. Copy the following files from Q:\sda2\Windows\System32\config to your new remote registry backup folder, C:\Remote_RegBack: COMPONENTS.* DEFAULT.* SAM.* SECURITY.* SOFTWARE.* SYSTEM.*

The remote Managed Clients registry is now backed up on your Management Console system and can be restored if necessary. To restore a corrupted registry on the remote Managed Client, copy the entire set of backup registry files from C:\Remote_RegBack to Q:\sda2\Windows\System32\config, thus overwriting the entire corrupted remote registry with the clean backup. Do not

11

copy individual registry files.

In addition to backing up the remote Managed Clients registry as described above, you should also back up your local registry for the Management Console, since you will be opening the Registry Editor on the Management Console in the next section. See the procedures outlined in the following Microsoft technical article, under the subheading Back up the registry: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/256986

In this section you will open the Registry Editor on the Management Console and load a registry database file (referred to as a hive) from the remote Managed Clients registry, using the mapped drive to the clients hard drive. 1. On the Management Console, open the Registry Editor as follows: click Start > Run, then type regedit and click OK. 2. In the registry tree (in the left-hand pane), select either HKEY_USERS or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. In the document example we select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

3. On the menu bar, click File > Load Hive. 4. In the Look in field of the Load Hive dialog, select the drive, folder, or network computer and folder combination that contains the hive you want to load. In the document example, we want to load [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE] (%windir%/system32/config/SOFTWARE) from the remote Managed Client machine. This hive is located in Q:\sda2\Windows\System32\Config\SOFTWARE (no file extension), assuming that the Managed Clients hard drive is mapped to drive letter Q: and that the drive partition sda2 contains the Managed Clients operating system files.

12

Other hives you may want to load from the Managed Client are: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM] (%windir%/system32/config/SYSTEM) [HKEY_USERS \.Default] (%windir%/system32/config/DEFAULT) 5. In the Load Hive dialog, click Open. 6. In the Key Name dialog, enter the name that you want to assign to the newly loaded remote hive, and then click OK. Be sure to give the newly loaded remote hive a unique name such as Remote_SOFTWARE so that you will not confuse it with the local SOFTWARE registry key. The newly loaded remote hive is displayed in the left-hand pane of the Registry Editor, as shown below.

13

7. At this point you have the ability to perform remote registry edits using the newly loaded remote hive. Make changes as needed to fix the Managed Clients registry. 8. To save your changes, unload the remote hive as follows: in the left-hand pane of the Registry Editor, select the Hive Key Name (Remote SOFTWARE, in this example), then click File > Unload Hive on the menu bar. The changes you made to the remote hive are set in the Managed Clients local registry. 9. Exit the Registry Editor on the Management Console. 10.Disconnect the mapped drive to the Managed Clients hard drive.

11. Reboot the Managed Client to ensure that it stops sharing its hard drive.

You can prepare a USB key with identical configuration settings to use with multiple Intel AMT systems. When the systems are rebooted with the USB key, Intel AMT is configured on them. To prepare the USB key: 1- Put a USB key in the computer. The Settings for Manual Configuration of Multiple Systems window opens. Note: This option is available only for systems with Intel AMT 6.0 and higher. For other Intel AMT systems you must make a new USB key for each system. 2- Select Tools > Prepare a USB Key for Manual Configuration. Note: The ACU Wizard does not restrict the size of USB key you can use. But, the computer BIOS must fully support the selected USB key and be able to do a reboot from it.

3- Select the versions of Intel AMT that this USB key will configure: All systems are Intel AMT 6.0 and higher If selected, you can use this USB key to configure systems that have Intel AMT 6.x and 7.x. All systems are Intel AMT 7.0 and higher If selected, you can use this USB key to configure only systems that have Intel AMT 7.x. The data in the USB key is scrambled so it cannot easily be read. 4- In the Configuration Settings section, enter the password for the MEBx: Old MEBx Password The ACU Wizard always puts the default password of unconfigured systems (admin) in this field. If this is not the password currently defined in the MEBx, enter the correct password. If you do not supply the correct password, configuration will fail. New MEBx Password The new password to put in the MEBx. For the first configuration it is mandatory to change the MEBx password. For reconfiguration you must also enter a value here, but it can be the same as the Current Password. For information about the required format, see Password Format on page 8.

26

5- From the drop-down list, define in which power states (of the host system) the Intel AMT device will operate: Always on (S0-S5) If the system is connected to the power supply, the Intel AMT manageability features are available in any of the system power states. This is the recommended setting. Host is on (S0) The Intel AMT manageability features are available only if the operating system of the Intel AMT system is up and running. (Optional) By default, the user consent feature is not enabled for systems configured using this configuration method (see User Consent on page 4). If you want to define that user consent is mandatory for redirection sessions, select User consent required for redirection sessions. 6- From the USB Drive drop-down list, select the drive letter of the USB key (you cannot select a USB key if you are using it to run the ACU Wizard). 7- Click Next. The Formatting USB drive window opens. 8- Click Yes if you are sure you want to continue and format the USB key. The ACU Wizard creates a configuration file on the USB key.
