Unprovisioning
Unprovisioning is when Intel
®
AMT has been returned to its default settings.
Return to Default
Return to Default is also know as Unprovisioning. An AMT setup and configured system can be
unprovisioned using the AMT Configuration screen and the Un-Provision option.
Follow the steps below to unprovision your system:
1 Select Un-Provision and then select Full Unprovision.
Full unprovisioning is available for SMB mode provisioned systems. This option returns all AMT
configuration settings to factory defaults, and does not reset ME configuration settings or
passwords. Full and partial unprovisioning is available for Enterprise mode provisioned systems.
Partial unprovisioning returns all AMT configuration settings to factory defaults with the
exception of the PID and PPS. Partial unprovisioning does not reset ME configuration settings or
passwords.
An unprovisioning message displays after about one minute. After unprovisioning completes,
control is passed back to the AMT Configuration screen. Provisioning Server, Set PID and PPS,
and Set PRTC options are available again because the system is set to the default Enterprise
mode.
2 Select Return to previous menu.
3 Select Exit, and then select Y. The system restarts.
Full Return to Factory Defaults
You can return all AMT to factory default by clearing the CMOS. This includes resetting the
password to the default admin. However, settings in the ME, such as the ME Power Settings, are not
reset. You must manually reset those settings to the default for the system to be in a true factory-
default state. Table 3-2 lists the default MEBx settings. You cannot remotely manage the system
until it is setup and configured again.
