Intel Active Management Technology Status

Hello
4 months ago I bought Lenovo X61 ThinkPad notebook has Intel Centrino vPro, just few days ago, each time I start the notebook a pop-up note come up into my screen that the status of Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) is disable, and I should contact authorized system administrator; on the same pop-up a note stating "click here"; I done that and it took me to Intel website, when I read the page, it made me to understand that AMT has something to do with my notebook security.
I shall be grateful if could help me to solve this problem/technical issue to enable the AMT.
Thank you

Hi Rado
> Can you specify what do you mean by recover the system to install after formatting the disk?
I think the Macdreamy means that you have to use the Toshiba original Recovery CD to reinstall the system on your notebook.
The point is that this error could appear if some necessary and essential system files are damage/removed/changed.
> the first time I install my Toshiba XP no key was required but I am not sure for the second formatting and I only have Vista key on the bottom of the laptop. Do you know how the situation with the XP key in such case is?
As far as I know the Toshiba image (on the Toshiba Recovery CD) is already activated and you dont need any keys for OS activating.
The key at the bottom of the unit belongs to the installed image and it cannot be used with second Windows XP operating system!!!
If you want to use and install the XP on this machine then you would need a original MS Windows XP CD with the right key!
However, back to the Recovery procedure;
Just put the Recovery CD into the CD/DVD drive -> boot from the recovery CD -> follow the instruction and after a short time the new OS with all Toshiba drivers and tools should be installed correctly.
But note; As Macdreamy already said the data backup could be needed because the Recovery CD formats the whole HDD.
Good luck

  • W540 no Intel Active Management Technology?

    As per subject, I don't see any options enable intel AMT in the bios, and when i log into intel Management Engine I don't have intel AMT settings either, instead I have Intel Smart Business Technology in place of AMT. I went in and i only have 2 options, nothing much to configure here. Is this intended for W540? What does intel SBT does?

    Hi, Edmund_Tan,
    Quoting from Intel's site: "Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) is hardware-based technology for remotely managing and securing PCs out-of-band. Currently, Intel AMT is available in desktops, servers, ultrabooks, tablets, and laptops with Intel Core vPro processor family, including Intel Core i3, i5, i7, and Intel Xeon processor E3-1200 product family."
    I did some research, and found out that vPro is not supported by the following Intel processors avaiable in W540 models:
    i5-4200M, i7-4700MQ.
    If you have one of these, you probably won't find any options for IAMT in the BIOS.
    I myself bought the model with i7-4800MQ and can find options for IAMT I the BIOS under: Config  > Intel (R) AMT. 
    Hope this helps

  • X200 Intel Active Management default password??

    Hello,
    I brought a Lenovo x200s and directly downgraded it to windows XP.
    Then I installed a personal firewall and recognized huge harddrive activity. So i checked the log and recognized the initiator: lms.exe. It belongs to Intel(R) Active Management Technology Local Manageability Service.
    I don't need the whole thing and checked the settings in control panel, but noting can be configured. This has to be done during boot. After pressing CTRL+P the Intel Management Engine Bios Extension asks for a Intel ME Passwort
    I have never entered any. What's the default one?
    Thanks...

  • Enabling Intel AMT (Active Management Technology)

    I have a P67A-G45 and would like to be able to remotely administer my desktop PC with Intel AMT.
    I have BIOS 1.A and have installed the latest Intel Management Engine Driver for P67/H67 from the MSI website. In Device Manager, I have Intel(R) Management Engine Interface in System Devices.
    I've downloaded Intel SCS, but when I run the wizard, I get the message "This system does not support Intel AMT, and therefore cannot be configured."
    There doesn't seem to be any option for Intel AMT in the BIOS.
    Is it possible to enable Intel AMT on this board?
    Thanks.

  • G500 need help with Intel Rapid Storage Technology email notifications configuration.

    I have a new Lenovo G500 laptop running Win 8.1. I have discovered the Rapid Storage Technology icon and have been trying to set up email notifications in Preferences using the desktop interface.
    Without going into a lengthy description about what I have done already, I can tell you that I have configured the Email Preferences so the test email does not fail immediately, but it does not send the email, either; it just spins In Progress without stopping until cancelled manually using the button. I get no error messages.
    I have looked at firewall and allowing IntelCpHeciSvc.exe through because I wanted to see if it made a difference; I have looked for Intel entries in System Configuration & Task Manager Services to try and find a reason for the test email not sending, there.
    I have the correct SMTP host address and corresponding Port correct, having gleaned the info from BT's web site, and all the email addresses I have included are active.
    Can anyone suggest what I am failing to address?

    Hi,
    IRST(Intel Rapid Storage Technology) is mainly used for RAID setup and management.
    According to Intel, it provides benefits to users of single drives as well.
    http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/imsm/sb/CS-020784.htm 
    It's recommend you install the proper version which is applied to every OS.
    Pre-OS install driver is mainly basic driver used to make sure boot system successfully. Post-OS driver is primarily intended to some function working better.

    My question is: Why are so many machines in this state, and is it safe for me to just run the "manage-bde -on c: -cn AAAAAA" on them or could it cause problems?

    I mean to say, it's the MBAM agent who sends information to the MBAM Server about the recovery keys and TPM information. So when you are using manage-bde commands for encryption, the recovery keys will not get stored to the MBAM DBs.
    What you need to do is to start the encryption with manage-bde and then at the next client wake up frequency which you have set in your environment, MBAM Agent will send the recovery information to the MBAM web servers an dthen the recovery keys will be
    stored to the MBAM DBs.
    But in this case also, TPM ownership information will not get stored to the MBAM DBs. For that you need to run a script if you have saved the TPM information in Active Directory. I have posted the script on Technet Gallery.
    Let me know if you have any more issues.

  • How to use Intel Rapid Start technology on my ThinkPad Edge 531 computer?

    I have a Thinkpad Edge 531 (model 6885-73G) preloaded with Windows 7 64bit. According to the appropriate user guide (see Thinkpad E531 User Guide - page 108) and chipset specifications Mobile Intel® HM77 Express this ThinkPad model supports Intel Rapid Start Technology with a special partition on the SSD M.2.Such an SSD with the specification M.2 (see MyDigitalSSD Super Cache 2) I bought it and installed successfully on my ThinkPad, which can run a cache software FNet HybriDisk on.
    However, even if I proceed exactly according to the installation script by Intel, see (Intel Rapid Start Technology User Guide) or by the installation script by Lenovo community, (see Edge E330 and Intel Rapid Start), I can not put into operation Intel Rapid Start Technology on my ThinkPad, although I use the installed SSD disk with an alone partition of appropriate type (with ID type 84 on MBR) with more allocated space than the size of RAM for my ThinkPad and with the currently deployed version of BIOS (1.29) and current drivers, such is Intel (R) Rapid Storage Technology Driver version 11.1.5.1001 downloaded from the webiste of Lenovo support for this model ThinkPad Edge 531.
    Since, in my opinion, based on the above specifications declared by the manufacturer Lenovo and Intel, this ThinkPad model should support Intel Rapid Start Technology, I would like therefore to know how this technology on my ThinkPad to put into operation, because of which I also bought this ThinkPad model. Does exist for this model ThinkPad Edge 531 some specific deployment scenario of Intel Rapid Start Technology? Does anyone have any practical experience with the launch of this technology on those ThinkPad models? Can it be expected that the full support of Intel Rapid Start Technology for the ThinkPad Edge 531 will occur after the release of a new version of the BIOS or a new version of Solid State Drive Firmware Update Utility with support for MyDigitalSSD Super Cache 2 published on the website of Lenovo support?
    Thanks in advance for any advice and guidance with the launch of Intel Rapid Start Technology on my ThinkPad Edge 531.

  • DAG Cluster Failed to Resume Primary Active Manager

    Hi there,
    I ran the StartDagServerMaintenance.ps1 script on our SiteA Exchange server then updated it and rebooted. SiteB Exchange server now has active Mailbox Database and is doing Client Access etc. After reboot of SiteA Exchange we had network issues and in the
    process of troubleshooting I deleted the network adapters from Device Manager, and ran netsh int ip reset, then reconfigured them with their static IP's, and static routes for the Replication network.

  • Can't install Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver on Yoga 2 11

    The Lenovo driver list for the Yoga 2 11 includes Intel Rapid Storage Technology (IRST) Driver for 64-bit Windows. However, attempting to install this results in the message, "No Appropriate Driver to be Installed". Likewise, attempting to install the Rapid Storage Technology driver from Intel's site results in the error, "The platform is not supported."
    Windows Device Manager shows WDC WD5000M22K-24Z1LT0-SSHD-16GB for the disk drive name, so it appears that the drive should support the RAID configuration for SSD caching. This is consistent with the specs for the laptop.
    Is it normal for the drivers to not install? It seems odd, given the placement on Lenovo's driver list. I'd like to set the Acceleration Mode to Maximized as described in Intel's User Guide.

    Hi Jakobsjoqvist,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    I’m really sorry to hear that you had trouble installing Intel Rapid Storage AHCI driver in your Lenovo Thinkpad T430s.
    I would suggest you to try uninstalling the driver and run the Intel Driver update utility which will auto-detect the missing drivers and will install the latest version for you.
    Hope this helps!

  • [Z77A-GD65] Intel Rapid Storage Technology 11.5.0.1207

    Hi,
    I've been updating some drivers today on a new build (in sig. below) with W8RP following the recent release of new drivers.
    Updated drivers to latest for Chipset, VGA, Intel Management Engine, but when I get to RST I get the following error;
    'This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software.'
    I've rebooted after each driver update.
    This also happened to me a few days ago on a previous OS install on this machine, but on that occasion the version on the supplied DVD with the MB was the same version number and worked fine, of course this is now out of date.
    I have my SATA controller set to RAID and I see my drives in the RAID ROM prior to POST but as yet no RAID ARRAY set up, but last time I did this, that was done when following the prompts when starting RST the first time.
    I'm trying to use my SSD to accelerate my HDD but not sure why I get the above error message :-s

    Hi xmad,
    Thanks for that, somehow some confusion had crept into proceedings and I was trying to use the Rapid Start package which is now no surprise why it was complaining at me because I don't have that switched on in bios at the moment.
    The link you supplied is right, I had that already but somehow had got it confused with the Rapid Start one.  It also has the floppy file set for supplying during OS install which is not separately highlighted on the downloads page like it is for the earlier version. Extracted and tested the setup file in the package you linked to 'intel_rst8_mb' which completes setup now.
    I've taken my driver / utility load sequencing from Live Update 5 History Tab prior to me uninstalling it.
    THX TruStudio PRO - 1.04.02
    Video Genie - 1.0.0.12
    Super Charger - 1.2.012
    Easy Viewer - 1.3.0.9

    Intel Rapid Start Technology - 2.1.0.1002
    Intel Smart Connect Technology - 3.0.30.1526
    Asmedia SATA - 1.3.4.000
    ? Intel USB3 - 1.0.4.225
    I had problems when trying to install USB3 driver (W7 x64) on prior install of W8RP because it complained at me for not having appropriate hardware so maybe it is already catered for in W8 but I don't have any USB3 devices to test and can't see any reference to USB3 in Device Manager.  I guess it depends whether W8 includes the Intel driver :s
    Going to redo my OS install so I can satisfy myself that I've got a good clean install to make a drive image from.

  • Intel Rapid Storage Technology (pre-OS) driver installation

    My desktop machine is built on Gigabyte GA-Z87-UD3H and Gigabyte provides the latest driver for Intel Rapid Storage Technology (IRST), which I installed after installing
    the OS. Same goes for my Lenovo Thinkpad-T420. And for both machine, checking the controller device under the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers section in Device Manager I see the driver has been updated to the latest version.
    I set the SATA controller to AHCI from BIOS
    On the desktop machine I have one WD 2TB BLACK & one WD 3TB Green
    - I don’t use RAID, & no chance of using in near future, but according to Intel IRST improves performance in single disk scenario too.
    Now I have the following questions –
    What is the actual purpose of IRST (pre-OS install) driver that doesn’t get served with a post-OS driver that I installed? There must be some difference, otherwise there wouldn’t be a pre-OS version of the driver. Right?
    In the pre-OS procedure (loading the drivers at OS-installation time) after successfully completing the OS installation, do I need that post-OS driver? Because after installing from that one I got a quick launch icon that runs the IRST configuration application.
    Where do get that after installing the pre-OS driver?
    As it is “pre-OS”, when I load it at OS-installation time, does it updates anything at BIOS level or anywhere other than HDD? That’s because I’m going to dual boot Windows 7 with Windows 8.1, and after installing Windows 7 when I install Windows 8.1 &
    load the IRST driver for that, is there any chance of any “overwriting” or OS-incompatibility? In short, is there anything specific to follow while installing
    the second OS?

    Hi,
    IRST(Intel Rapid Storage Technology) is mainly used for RAID setup and management.
    According to Intel, it provides benefits to users of single drives as well.

    It's recommend you install the proper version which is applied to every OS.
    Pre-OS install driver is mainly basic driver used to make sure boot system successfully. Post-OS driver is primarily intended to some function working better.
