Use the Single Computer page in the Import Computer for Out of Band Management Wizard in Configuration Manager 2007 SP1 and later to specify the information for a computer that will be imported for AMT provisioning.
 Note |
|---|
| The information in this topic applies only to Configuration Manager 2007 SP1 and later. |
This page displays only when the Import single computer option is selected on the Select Source page of the wizard.
When you provision a computer that does not have an operating system installed, ensure that the computer name specified here is also specified during operating system installation. If the same name is not used, Configuration Manager will not be able to connect to the AMT-based computer to manage it out of band after provisioning completes. Additionally, if you need to manage provisioned computers before an operating system is installed (for example, for collecting hardware inventory or power control), you must create a DHCP reservation for this computer and then manually create the associated DNS host record with the computer name specified here. DHCP reservations and manually created DNS host records are not necessary when the operating system is installed.
