The Intel® Manageability Developer Tool Kit is a suite of tools designed to help IT professionals and developers maximize control over their IT infrastructure, particularly for systems utilizing Intel® Active Management Technology (AMT) and Intel® vPro® platform. It provides capabilities for remote discovery, repair, and protection of PCs, reducing the need for physical “truck rolls” to address system issues. Key aspects and capabilities include:
Hardware-Level Remote Control: Enables IT teams to remotely manage powered-off or non-responsive devices (even with a crashed operating system) through out-of-band management.
Comprehensive Management Toolkit: The kit supports the development of applications that interact with Intel AMT, allowing for remote power management, system configuration, and monitoring.
Remote Access Tools: Facilitates the use of Intel Manageability Commander for remote access, which simplifies tasks like updating firmware and OS deployments.
Provisioning & Configuration: Includes guidance and tools for setting up, manual provisioning, and configuring Intel AMT clients, both for wired and wireless connections.
Integration with Modern Management: Complements tools like Intel® Endpoint Management Assistant (Intel® EMA) for cloud-based management inside and outside the corporate firewall.
If you are aiming to reduce IT overhead and increase security, the toolkit helps automate routine maintenance and enhances the ability to manage fleets remotely.
