AMT DTK Outpost service crashes

Hi!

I have a problem with my outpost tool on 2 PCs. Intel AMT is activated and set up. The webinterface is working fine, access by the commander tool works too. I am also able to start the outpost tool and the connection works fine.

When I start the Outpost Service Control Panel Tool, i can set up the service. This still is ok. When I try to start this service, the tool shows status "running". And here is the Problem. The service crashes after a few seconds. The tool still shows status running, but ifI restart the tool, the status is "nor running".

My configuration: Intel DQ45CB, Intel Q6600, Windows Vista 32bit, newest BIOS, newest Drivers

I have tried several versions of the AMT DTK but nothing works.

In the event log the following message occures: >>Dienst Manageability Outpost Tool Agent Service wurde unerwartet beendet.<< (In english: >>The service managability outpost tool agent service was shut down unexpected<< or something like that)

Please help me, i don't know how to solve that problem...

Kind regards

Could you please fill out the attached bug report form and submit it to Support_DOPD_SWE@intel.com. This will help us to better diagnose your issue and hopefully find a resolution.

In the meantime, can you please tell us what version of the Outpost tool you are using and how your network is setup (DHCP, DNS, Internet connectivity, etc.).

Thanks,

Thanks, bug report will be submitted in a few minutes.

I tried several outpost agents. At the moment the newest version (AMT DTK v.0.6.08302.2) is installed.

My network setup: DHCP & DNS = Win2008 Server, Internet = Gentoo Router, all IPs by DHCP, hostname is pc01 on both PCs (only one is connected to the net at a time) and the domainname is customername.solution-flat.de.

While making some screenshots for the bug-report, I found out something new, maybe the reason for the problem: I am unable to connect local to the AMT Web-Interface.

The Outpost Tool writes the following entries to the log (about 20 times per minute):

--- 15:30:57:Information:ReadRecords: AMT_AuditLog
--- 15:30:57:CallFailed:http://localhost:16992/wsman

Accessing the webinterface from any other PC is possible. Where is my failure?

Please go ahead and complete the bug report file and submit it to Support_DOPD_SWE@intel.com. And please also attach the Outpost log file that contains the exceptions you posted here to that bug report submissions.
As of now, we don't have enough information to accurately identifiy the cause of this issue. In the meantime, you can try to execute Outpost without using WS-MAN by specifying the '-nowsman' swicth at the command line to determine if this issue is related to the use of Web Services for Manageability.

Hello!

I'm in contact with Intel. The last message from Intel was: "We've replicated this issue in our lab and I've passed it on to our developers. This is a priority for our next release, but since we haven't root caused it I cannot estimate when the fix will be implemented. I will update you no later than the end of next week with our progress."

If there are any news, i'm will post them here.

Kind regards

Andreas,

I have tried many times to replicate this using the latest build (340.2) and have been unsuccessful. I saw it once on the 302.2 build. Can you provide some moreinformation on getting this to occur? Have you tried the lATEST BUILD? http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/manageability-developer-tool-kit/

Best regards,
Tim
