Jen,

the HP Out-of-band management console only supports Enterprise mode, using the Intel SCS software.

Thanks for your message. As I got a HP OOB demo kit VM images, in the images there is a tool called Provisoning mode tool that can switch between SMB and enterprise mode. Is this tool a part of HP OOB?

Jen,

I believe the demo kit VM (which HP OOB is included) you are referring to is one that Intel uses for training and demonstrations of vPro and Centrino Pro capability (usually tied to a Field Demo Kit or High Speed Pilot). As documented in the licensing pop-up for "Provisioning Mode Tool", the tool is not part of the HP OOB suite nor is the application support by HP. The tool was developed by Intel to provide the demonstration kits an easy mechanism to switch between the supported Enterprise Provisioning Mode and SMB Demonstration Only Mode.

I would look to Rick Winford to comment to any long terms plans around including AMT SMB provisioning support within the HP OOB or future products.
