Prerequisites for Out of Band Management

Running Configuration Manager 2007 SP1 out of band management creates external dependencies as well as dependencies within the product.

참고

중요

Out of band management in Configuration Manager 2007 SP1 has external dependencies on the Intel Active Management Technology (Intel AMT) and on Microsoft public key infrastructure (PKI) technologies. If you need authoritative configuration information or technical details about these external dependencies, refer to the product documentation for the related technologies.

For Intel Active Management Technology (Intel AMT) information, refer to the Intel documentation or the documentation from your computer manufacturer.

For Microsoft PKI information, refer to Windows Server 2008 Active Directory Certificate Services (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=115018) and Public Key Infrastructure for Windows Server 2003 (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=78389).

Dependencies External to Configuration Manager 2007

The following table lists the external dependencies for running Configuration Manager 2007 SP1 out of band management.

Dependency

More Information

A Microsoft enterprise certification authority (CA) with certificate templates to deploy and manage the certificates required for out of band management.

The issuing certification authority must automatically approve certificate requests from the primary site server on behalf of AMT-based computers.

Cc161785.Important(ko-kr,TechNet.10).gif중요

AMT-based computers cannot support certification authority certificates with a key length greater than 2048 bits.

The out of band service point and each desktop computer that will be managed with the out of band management feature must have specific public key infrastructure (PKI) certificates that are managed independently from Configuration Manager.

For more information, see the following topics:

Desktop computers with the following configuration:

  • Intel vPro Technology or Intel Centrino Pro Technology.

  • Intel AMT version 3.2.1 or later.

  • Intel HECI driver.

Consult your computer manufacturer's documentation, and download the latest HECI driver from the Intel Web site.

If you have AMT-based computers that have a version of AMT that is lower than 3.2.1, you might be able to support them with out of band management and reduced functionality by using Intel's translator. For more information, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=108363.

You must create and configure with the correct security permissions an Active Directory container for the domain in which the AMT-based computers reside. If the site manages AMT-based computers from multiple domains, the same container name and path must be used for all domains.

Cc161785.note(ko-kr,TechNet.10).gif참고

It is not necessary to extend the Active Directory schema for out of band management.

This Active Directory container (or organizational unit) is required for publishing the AMT-based computer object during the AMT provisioning process.

For more information, see How to Prepare Active Directory Domain Services for Out of Band Management.

If you will provision new computers for AMT without the Configuration Manager 2007 SP1 client installed, you might need the following:

  • DNS servers that resolve the host name of ProvisionServer to the IP address of the out of band service point site system server.

  • DHCP server with an active scope.

The DNS entry can be automatically registered by Configuration Manager 2007 SP1 if DNS automatic updates are supported. For more information, see Decide Whether You Should Register an Alias for the Out of Band Service Point in DNS.

If computers will resolve the host name of ProvisionServer using DNS, ensure that the DHCP scope options include DNS servers (006) and Domain name (015), and that the DHCP server dynamically updates DNS with the computer resource record.

Windows Remote Management (WinRM) must be installed on each site system server that hosts the out of band service point role and on any computer that runs a remote Configuration Manager console.

To download the latest version of WinRM and for more information, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=105682.

If the out of band service point site system role is installed on Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 or later is required.

If you are running Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2, the following hotfix must be installed: 942841.

For more information about the hotfix, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=106107.

Configuration Manager 2007 SP1 Supported Configurations

MSXML 6.0 is required on computers that run the out of band management console.

The Configuration Manager 2007 SP1 2007 setup prerequisite check includes the check for MSXML 6.0.

For more information, see Setup Prerequisite Checks.

The Windows feature Telnet Client must be installed on computers running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 if they will run the out of band management console and perform serial-over-LAN commands.

Serial over LAN uses the Telnet protocol to run a terminal emulation session for the managed computer, in which you can run commands and character-based applications. For more information, see Overview of Out of Band Management.

Computers that will be managed out of band must belong to the same Active Directory forest as the out of band service point's forest and must share the same namespace.

The following AMT-based computers cannot be provisioned by Configuration Manager:

  • Workgroup computers.

  • Computers that reside in a different Active Directory forest from the out of band service point site system server.

  • Computers that reside in the same Active Directory forest as the out of band service point site system server but do not share the same namespace (noncontiguous namespace).

    For example, an AMT-based computer with the FQDN of computer1.northwindtraders.com cannot be provisioned by the out of band service point site system with the FQDN of contoso.com, even if they belong to the same Active Directory forest.

Intervening network devices such as routers and firewalls must allow the traffic associated with out of band management activity.

The following ports are used by out of band management:

  • From the AMT management controllers to the out of band service point site system server for provisioning: TCP 9971.

  • From the out of band service point site system server to AMT managed controllers for discovery: TCP 16992.

  • From the out of band service point site system server to AMT management controllers for power control initiated from the Configuration Manager console and scheduled activities, provisioning, and discovery: TCP 16993.

  • From computers running the out of band management console to AMT management controllers for all management tasks initiated from the out of band management console (including power on commands): TCP 16993.

  • From computers running the out of band management console to AMT management controllers for serial over LAN and IDE redirection: TCP 16995.

Full IPsec environments are not supported.

Do not configure IPsec policies for the AMT communication between the out of band service point site system server and computers that will be managed out of band.

Refer to the port information in the preceding row to determine which ports are required for out of band management.

802.1X environments are not natively supported by Configuration Manager.

If you have AMT-based computers that use 802.1X, see the following information about using the Intel WS-MAN translator: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=108363.

Configuration Manager 2007 Dependencies

The following table lists the dependencies within Configuration Manager 2007 for running Configuration Manager 2007 SP1 out of band management.

Dependency More Information

The primary site must be running Configuration Manager 2007 SP1 and have installed the out of band service point.

See How to Install the Out of Band Service Point.

If you will provision computers for AMT with the Configuration Manager client, computers must have the Configuration Manager 2007 SP1 client installed.

Clients prior to Configuration Manager 2007 SP1 cannot initiate provisioning for AMT, and these computers must use out of band provisioning for AMT or be upgraded to Configuration Manager 2007 SP1.

For more information about AMT provisioning choices, see How to Provision Computers for AMT.

If you will use network discovery to identify computers with management controllers, you must first install the out of band service point and you might have to configure an AMT Provisioning and Discovery Account.

For more information, see the following topics:

You must have the following security rights for the collection that contains the computer that you want to manage out of band:

  • View management controllers: This security right allows you to discover computers with management controllers and initiate power control actions from the Configuration Manager console.

  • Manage management controllers: This security right allows you to view and manage computers by using the out of band management console.

For more information about configuring security rights in the Configuration Manager console, see Overview of Configuration Manager Object Security and WMI.

Reporting point site system.

The reporting point site system role must be installed before out of band management reports can be displayed.

For more information about creating a reporting point, see How to Create a Reporting Point.
