The Welcome window of the Configuration Utility includes an option named “Configure/Unconfigure this System”. If you select this option when the Configuration Utility is running on a system that does not have Intel AMT, this error message shows:
This is because you can use this option only when you run the Configuration Utility on systems that have Intel AMT.
But, in this version of the Configuration Utility, this error message can also occur for systems that have Intel AMT. This is a known issue and only occurs on Intel AMT 5.x or lower when Intel AMT is disabled in the MEBX.
Solution:
Enable Intel AMT in the Intel MEBX.
