<filename> The XML file containing the original configuration settings that were used to configure Intel AMT. Settings in the XML file not related to the specified maintenance tasks are ignored.
<task>

Define at least one of these maintenance tasks:

  • SyncAMTTime Synchronizes the clock of the Intel AMT device with the clock of the host. This task is performed automatically when any of the other tasks are performed.
  • SyncNetworkSettings – Synchronizes network settings of the Intel AMT device as defined in the <NetworkSettings> tag of the <filename> XML file (see Defining IP and FQDN Settings)
  • ReissueCertificates – Reissues the certificates stored in the Intel AMT device. If the device contains 802.1x certificates, the RenewADPassword task is automatically done as well.
  • RenewADPassword – Changes the password of the Active Directory object representing the Intel AMT system.
  • RenewAdminPassword – Changes the password of the default Digest admin user in the Intel AMT device according to the password setting defined in the profile.
  • AutoMaintain – Automatically does only the maintenance tasks (listed here) that are necessary for this Intel AMT system.

For more information, see:

/DecryptionPassword <password> Mandatory if any of the files that the Configurator will use are encrypted (see File Encryption)
/AdminPassword <password>

The current password of the default Digest admin user defined in the Intel AMT device. This parameter is NOT necessary if any of these are true:

  • The XML profile contains the Digest admin password
  • The user account running the Configurator is a Kerberos account that is configured in the Intel AMT device with administrator permissions
/NetworkSettingsFile <file> The path to a file that contains the network settings (FQDN and/or IP) to put in the Intel AMT device. Only use this parameter if you defined the source for at least one of these settings as a dedicated network settings file. For more information, see Defining IP and FQDN Settings.

/FileToRun

/FileHash

/FileUser

/FilePassword

The Configurator can use these parameters to run a script after the command has completed successfully. For more information, see Scripts Run by the Configurator.
