15.5.7 Setting AMT credentials
To control computer power sources by using AMT or obtain information about AMT firmware versions, you must set AMT credentials in advance.
In addition, to set AMT for a computer via agent configurations, a password with administrator privileges must be set to automatically enable AMT.
To set AMT credentials:
-
Display the Settings module.
-
In the menu area, select Inventory and then AMT.
-
Set AMT credentials.
To control computer power source by using AMT and to obtain information about AMT firmware version, in the information area, type User ID, Password, and Retype Password.
To automatically enable AMT for a computer, type a password with AMT administrator privileges in Password and Retype Password of Password for administrative privileges.
-
Click the Apply button.
Power source control with the use of AMT is enabled for a user computer.
Note that to use AMT, in addition to the settings specified for JP1/IT Desktop Management 2, you must specify AMT settings for a management server and a user computer.
- Important
-
The user name and password for the AMT user information (AMT management user) specified for Credentials Used must be consistent between the management server settings and a managed computer.
- Tip
-
For computers with the agent already installed, you can specify AMT settings from the agent configurations. This reduces the time to operate the BIOS on each computer.
- Tip
-
If a password with administrator privileges is not specified for a computer's AMT, the password specified for Password for administrative privileges is registered on AMT. If a password with administrator privileges is already registered, you cannot set the password. Specify the already registered password. In addition, if a password with administrator privileges is already specified and AMT is disabled, you must enable the computer's AMT in advance.
