We are always looking for ways to make Intel® AMT easier to use and today, we are making available a new and interesting option that should help. In the past few months, we have been working on Manageability Commander Web Edition, a new web based Intel® AMT console that can run entirely in a browser and allows administrators to remotely manage computers from any browser enabled device. This is part of the vision of making Intel® AMT more web friendly. Today, we are adding to this with a new MicroLMS that has Manageability Commander built-in. Typically, the Local Management Service (LMS) is used to help developers interact with Intel AMT on the local system. MicroLMS is a smaller alternative to the official Intel LMS that we use in Meshcentral’s Mesh Agent, on Linux and in other situations. We also use it to experiment with new usages.
In addition to routing Intel AMT ports 16992/16993, MicroLMS has a new web server on port 16994 with a Websocket-to-MEI bridge and hosts a special version of Manageability Commander that is built for local configuration only. It’s a cut down version of Commander without KVM, Terminal or power control that don’t make sense on the local machine. Instead, this version of Commander is geared towards local information gathering and configuration of Intel AMT. Once MicroLMS is running, administrators can browse to http://localhost:16994 and view Intel AMT activation status, version information and login to change settings. When we get a bit of testing on this new MicroLMS, a new Meshcentral agent will be released with the same feature, so everyone using Meshcentral will get this feature automatically and this, for both Windows and Linux.
The new MicroLMS is available on the Manageability Commander Web Edition site for people to try out and feedback is most appreciated. Moving forward, as Manageability Commander evolves, we will release new versions of the MicroLMS with the latest version of the console built-in.
Feedback appreciated,
Ylian Saint-Hilaire
