Intel(R) Active Management Technology (Intel AMT):
A short description of the SDK's WMI Provider Scripts for developers.
Intel(R) ME WMI provider - background:
--------------------------------------
The Intel<65> ME WMI provider allows ISVs and IT administrators to perform AMT
discovery and configuration operations using WMI technology. The Intel ME WMI
provider complements the existing WS-MAN API by abstracting low-level MEI (aka
HECI) operations through WMI.
Note: To ensure that security is maintained, the scripts should be run from
a directory that can be accessed only by the Administrator user. This is
to prevent unauthorized manipulation of files in the directory.
Following are the main functionalities implemented in the provider:
1. Discovery of ME and AMT related attributes, such as FW version and
provisioning state.
2. Local activation operation, performed as part of Remote Configuration.
3. FW events.
The Intel ME WMI provider is implemented as DLL (MeProv.dll) and operates as
part of Windows* WMI mgmt service. The provider is installed as part of the
Intel* CSME SW kit.
The WMI provider creates six WMI classes in the root\Intel_ME namespace:
1. AMT_EthernetPortSettings: A class contains all Intel(R) AMT specific settings
(IP, DHCP, VLAN) for one network interface in the system
2. AMT_ProvisioningCertificateHash: A class describes provisioning certificate
hash entry.
3. AMT_Service: A class providing access to AMT Features configuration, such as
KVM and IDE-Redirect
4. AMT_SetupAuditRecord: Provides a record of the last ME Activation Event as
recorded by ME
5. ME_System: A class representing Intel(R) Manageability Engine (ME) info
6. OOB_Service: A class for reporting the OOB configuration
For detailed information for each class, please refer to the SDK documentation.
For information about programming management applications using the WMI Provider,
see the WMI documentation in the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK.
WMI Provider Scripts - zip content:
-----------------------------------
The Intel AMT SDK WMI Samples directory includes the 3 following sample apps:
SystemProperties.ps1:
A PowerShell sample that demonstrates how to use the ME WMI provider and Windows
standard WMI provider to retrieve information about the ME and Host system.
MEevents.ps1:
A PowerShell sample that demonstrates how to receive ME events from the ME WMI
provider (MEprov). This sample requires LMS running in order to receive events.
Each PowerShell sample can be executed by double clicking on it.
