I have an Intel® EMA v1.12.1.0 server and have successfully provisioned an endpoint in Admin Control Mode with a PKI certificate.
The AMT Profile has the following configurations :
- General : Always Use Intel® AMT CIRA
- FQDN Source : Shared with host OS
- IP Address : From the DHCP Server
I try to have CIRA connect but still can't after following the troubleshooting guide here :
Here is the EMA Configuration Tool output from the endpoint :

I checked that all DNS suffixes match; the EMA server DNS name, the PKI certificate DNS suffix, DHCP option 15 and the endpoint DNS suffix all match.
For example :
EMA Server DNS : intel-ema.sub.domain.org
PKI Certificate : CN=intel-ema.sub.domain.org
DHCP option 15 : sub.domain.org
Endpoint FQDN : endpoint.sub.domain.org
I am a bit out of ideas as to what is blocking CIRA ...

Hello, No,
I reviewed the specifications of the endpoint HP ProDesk 600 G3 Small Form Factor and found some of the following:
- HP website is saying only Windows 7, 8, and 10; the lack of fully compatible drivers could be blocking the connection.
- In addition, there is a higher BIOS revision available. It improves the connection and security.
HP ProDesk 600 G3 Small Form Factor PC – BIOS version 00.02.49 Rev.A
https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/hp-prodesk-600-g3-small-form-factor-pc/15292277
- Is the endpoint in the same domain as the EMA server?
- Please tell me about the certificate. Is it a vPro Certificate from any of our Authorized vendors? The Root, intermediate, and leaf should be SHA256 or higher (Review it from IIS).
- In addition, please tell me about the OS of the server. The endpoint is old and does not support the latest secure Cipher suites. Use an IIS crypto software such as Nartac in the Server machine and enable at least TLS_RSA_with_AES_128_GCM_SHA256.
Look forward to your outcome and details.

Hi Miguel, thank you for your quick reply.
This is indeed an older PC that I use to test the the integration of our EMA server.
As suggested I have upgraded the BIOS version to : P07 Ver. 02.49
[...] the lack of fully compatible drivers could be blocking the connection.
I used HP software to check that drivers are up to date, let me know if there are additionnal verifications I can make to ensure this is not the source of the problem.
Is the endpoint in the same domain as the EMA server?
Yes they both are in the same domain and share the same DNS suffix ( e.g. *.sub.domain.org )
Please tell me about the certificate. Is it a vPro Certificate from any of our Authorized vendors? The Root, intermediate, and leaf should be SHA256 or higher (Review it from IIS).
It is a vPro certificate issued by Sectigo (https://sectigostore.com/ssl-certificates/amt-certificate)
Intel EMA (Sectigo) certificate is SHA256 and the 2 above are SHA384.
In addition, please tell me about the OS of the server. The endpoint is old and does not support the latest secure Cipher suites. Use an IIS crypto software such as Nartac in the Server machine and enable at least TLS_RSA_with_AES_128_GCM_SHA256.
The EMA server OS is Windows server 2022 standard ( Version 21H2 - Build 20348.2402 )
I will check to enable TLS_RSA_with_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 and report back.

I have verified the server and TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 is enabled and available.
Is there some client logs I can extract to debug this further ?

Hello, No,
Nice to hear you again.
Yes, there are logs from the endpoint that we can gather. In addition, please send me the Server logs (especially the Swarm and the Manageability logs).
EMA logs from the Server
Default Path: [System drive]\Program File(x86)\Intel\Platform Manager\EmaLogs
Please send me the files without the date called:
EMAlog-Webserver.txt
EMAlog-Swarmserver.txt
EMAlog-Manageabilityserver.txt
EMA log from the endpoint:
Default Path: [System drive]\Program Files\Intel\EMA Agent\EMAagentlog
Look forward to your answer.

Hello Miguel,
Sorry for the delay, I have checked the server logs but there doesn't seem to be anything related in these, just a few unrelated lines that seems like normal operations.
And unfortunately there is no logs on the endpoint at the specified location.

Hello, No,
Thank you for sharing the logs.
They are almost empty. Please tell me about the database, which SQL version you are using, and location. Also, tell me where Windows Server 2022 is installed.
Regarding the Certificate issue, we could set a web meeting; I will try to help you fix the SHA1 error. Please send me a private message with your schedule availability.

Miguel C.

The database is MSSQL Server 2022 version 16.0.4120.1 residing on the same Windows server as the EMA Server, and this windows server is installed in a virtual infrastructure on premise.
