Thank you for your interest in the Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) Software Development Kit. The Intel® AMT SDK (Software Development Kit) contains the building blocks and documentation material needed to develop software that interacts with Intel® AMT systems.

Intel® AMT 5.1.1 SDK is now available!!

Overview

Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) is a capability embedded in Intel® vPro™ technology based PCs that enhance the ability of IT organizations to manage enterprise computing facilities. Intel AMT operates independently of the platform processor and operating system. Remote platform management applications can access Intel AMT securely, even when the platform is turned off, as long as the platform is connected to line power and to a network. Independent software vendors (ISVs) can build applications that take advantage of the features of Intel AMT using the application programming interface (API).

  • KB899900 - For using Kerberos authentication to connect to an Intel AMT device.
  • KB908209 - For using Kerberos authentication to connect to an Intel AMT device using Internet Explorer.
  • KB842773 - For using digest authentication from a Windows application to connect to an Intel AMT device on which Kerberos users are configured.
    • Note: this is included in Windows XP* SP2 and in Windows Server 2003* SP1.

The key new features of Intel AMT 4.0 that are supported in this SDK:

  • Client Initiated Remote Access – allow client machines outside of their trusted intranet to make a call for help over the internet and establish a remote management connection.
  • Secure Audit Log support – enables some policy based events on the system to be monitored by designated auditors without any possible disruption by administrators.
  • Network Access Protection (NAP) support - Allows Intel AMT to gain Out Of Band access to a Microsoft NAP enabled 802.1x network to for SW updates, inventories, remote diagnostics, etc.
