ZTClocalagent activation issues

[idata]

Hi all,

I am fairly new to vPro and trying to use the SDK on my AMT enabled HP 8440p laptop. I setup the basic AMT settings when I bought the computer in BIOS itself. Then when I started looking at the SDK, I downloaded it and when I perform discovery using ztclocalagent, it is successful. Here is a snippet of the output:

"

Intel AMT code versions:

Flash: 6.0.40 Netstack: 6.0.40 AMTApps: 6.0.40 AMT: 6.0.40 Sku: 24584 VendorID: 8086 Build Number: 1215 Recovery Version: 6.0.40 Recovery Build Num: 1215 Legacy Mode: FalseSetup and Configuration:Completed

Found 8 certificate hashes in following Handles:

0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,"

However, when I try to use ZTClocalagent -activate, I run into errors and I am trying to get a feel what why I am getting these errors and how I can fix them:

Zero Touch Configuration:

enabled

Provisioning TLS Mode:

PKI

Failed performing Start Configuration command:

PT_STATUS_INVALID_PT_MODE: Command is not permitted in current operating mode.

Activate Intel AMT configuration:

Failure

Appreciate any inputs to help me with the same.

Regards,

Sudarsan,

Are you using Windows Vista or 7? If so, make sure you launch your command prompt as Administrator when running the ZTClocalagent.
