Thank you for your interest in the Manageability Developer Tool Kit.  The Manageability Developer Tool Kit (formerly known as Intel® AMT DTK) is now available for download.

Over the past few months you may have seen some inconsistencies in the updating and the posting of the DTK. To address this we have moved the applications within the DTK to a production software team inside of Intel’s Digital Office Platform Division (DOPD). This was a very important move to put focus and more resources on our enabling efforts. The first notable thing you will see is a more consistent release cadence of updates to each of the applications.

The second change is that over the next few months you will see DTK applications join with other Intel® vPro™ technology utilities into one capability suite of tools and documentation to:

  1. Provide you proven recipes and tools to enable quick activation of Intel® vPro™ technology based systems
  2. Supply reference applications to allow you to experience the benefits of Intel® vPro™ technologies
  3. Point and provide you to valuable resources that will help you pilot and scale your Intel® vPro™ technology based systems within your network
  4. Provide you enhanced documentation on our software development APIs so that you can develop your own Intel® vPro™ technology enabled applications. We hope you will find this new direction a positive move on our part

Over the next two quarters we will be working with key customers on our usability and feature updates for this suite of tools. If you feel you would like to be a part of our key customer program or if you just have a feature request, then we ask that you please send us an email to Support_DOPD_SWE@intel.com.

For on-going Manageability Developer Tool Kit questions and comments, please visit the Intel Software Network and the Intel® vPro™ Expert Center online communities.

Overview

Manageability Developer Tool Kit is a set of tools to help designers, developers and testers understand the benefits of Intel® AMT and assist in the development and testing of Intel AMT applications. The kit runs on Microsoft® Windows .NET 2.0 environment and offers a set of tools to quickly make use of all of the features of Intel AMT through the use of a simple developer oriented user interfaces. Included in the kit is a sample, developer oriented console (Manageability Commander) and agent (Manageability Outpost) along with a set of tutorial videos to help understand how the kit works and how it can be best used to assist in the development of new applications. The kit is an excellent complement to the Intel® AMT Software Development Kit (Intel® AMT SDK) to maximize developer productivity.

Why download link for Intel AMT DTK is deactivated? When does it get activated again?
June 2, 2008 12:07 PM PDT


Intel(R) Software Network Support
Ehsan, the DTK requires some revision before it can be re-posted. Please watch this space for updates.

Please activate the previous version of AMT DTK. Atleast let us play with the tool to get used with the environment. Thnx in advance for your endless effort.

I don't know if you noticed, but Intel has pulled virtually ALL of their information and downloads pertaining to AMT. All you can find right now is the marketing information that tells you what you can use it for. But they have removed all of the information pertaining to specific CPUs and Mobo's that support the feature. There are no directions for use, no compatability matrixes, and a whole bunch of broken links on their Web site that were working just fine last week. It looks like all of the rats are jumping off of the proverbial ship. (And we all know what that usually means.)

Let's go with the links already!!

what is the hold up? i need this DTK. we just ordered a bunch of new machines and i need this download TODAY. maybe i need to send back all these intel iamt machines. what's the bloody use without software to manage them. can you please get your act together and just POST THE OLD TOOLS? what's the big deal?
July 8, 2008 9:23 AM PDT


Ajay Mungara
You may probably have already noticed that the Intel AMT Developer Tool Kit (DTK) is marked not available. I wanted all of you to know that this is due to some technical and some non-technical issues that we are working out Internally. We will make the download available to you as soon as possible. We sincerely apologize for the interruption and the whole team is working hard to make this product available for download on the community. I will update this post as soon as I hear more details. The last update I have from the development team is that they plan to post it by end of next week (July 18th). I will update you if this changes. Thanks and appreciate your patience.
July 8, 2008 9:29 AM PDT


Ajay Mungara
I also wanted you to know that all the other Intel AMT downloads are available from the community. And, we are not jumping from this ship anytime soon. We have some issues that the team is working through with this particular download only.
July 10, 2008 10:58 PM PDT


Eric
I guess its time to return my AMT system boards as it's unclear if Intel will be supporting this in the future. I'll have to recommend that my customer base avoid iAMT systems as well: not worth the added expense if you can't use the feature because the tools aren't published.
July 17, 2008 10:43 AM PDT


Ajay Mungara
Eric & all, I am really sorry that not having this software available is causing a lot of pain. I have an update from the team that they are working on the last few pieces to make this software available on the site. They are telling me that they won't be able to release it this week, but they will give me an update as soon as possible. I am keep you posted. Thanks and appreciate your patience.
July 18, 2008 3:46 AM PDT


Kirk
Come on people at Intel: It's time to release this stuff now. Weeks of appeasing our customers isn't that easy like your words of patience.... WE NEED THIS STUFF TO DO OUR WORK.
July 18, 2008 8:28 AM PDT


Kevin
This is getting very frustrating. I got 30 Dell Optiplex 755s with Intel AMT technology that I can't use because of the hold ups. Come on guys.
July 20, 2008 1:11 PM PDT


Eric
Ajay, I accept your statement(s) that the AMT team is working on the update and intends to release soon with hope. I hope this means that Intel isn't abandoning the AMT effort and that eventually we/'ll get a working kit. I'm guessing that the reason you won't let us have the old version isn't an oversight as much as a legal/licensing issue. It ain't like Intel's afraid of releasing slightly buggy stuff. If I'm wrong, can we please have the old version?
July 20, 2008 1:13 PM PDT


Eric
Kevin, With out a FIRM COMMITMENT from Intel about exactly when the tools are back up, I think the SAFEST course of action is to return the Dell boxes. Let Dell know why. Your other option is to get AMT enabled management tools from a third party software vendor.
July 20, 2008 5:10 PM PDT


Phil K
Another deadline gone and pasted. We have been waiting for the toolkit for weeks now and I'll be talking to my Dell rep to see what they can do to let Intel know of our concern. We buy hundreds of Dells a year and started upgrading to the VPro processors for this tool basically. Our sites are not interconnected and many only have 4-5 desktops. So deploying a non-domain controller extra server with Altris or Dell Client Manager is not an option at each site! Only other option I have found is this DTK however seems Intel is just keeping it under wraps for whatever reason :(
July 21, 2008 10:27 AM PDT


dayglojesus
I have just spoken to our Dell rep (we are an educational inst. that also purchases hundreds of Dells per year) and he is pushing Altiris as a solution (probably the real reason nobody can get their hands on this *free* software). Collusion? No, they call it partnership. In any case, I have assured him that we will not be purchasing any AMT or vPro units. The ones that were on their way, are being sent back. Money saved. Thanks, Intel. Thanks, for continuing to prove why the OSS model is vastly superior to closed, proprietary, old-fashioned models like your own. I think I know why this is taking so long, Intels lawyers are actually the ones writing the code. What an innovative way to cut out the middleman.

It looks like Intel has censored a few posts.
July 24, 2008 7:14 AM PDT


Ajay Mungara
All,
I apologize, I wish we knew upfront about the process and the undertaking. We are learning as we go here and I'm giving you the information as soon I get from the development team.
I have escalated the issue to increase the priority. Good news is that Ylian is back and he is working hard to make the software available as soon as possible. http://softwareblogs.intel.com/2008/07/16/back-from-vacation-amp-dtk-status/


I will keep you posted.

Also, there was a problem with the comments on this article, and I will explain all of it in a blog post. :(
July 24, 2008 8:24 AM PDT


Ajay Mungara
Thank you for all your comments. Using your comments I have escalated the issue pretty high-up. Finally it looks like people are paying some attention that this tool is really important and deserves some attention. DTK really started as a skunk works project to help developers develop applications quickly. Only now it is getting all the attention thanks to the interest shown by all of you. Unfortunately, with higher visibility comes higher scrutiny in a corporate world and the reason the software is currently not available. But, I really hope to have this tool up on the site as soon as possible.

How about giving us the old version of the toolkit. I bought 40 vPro machines weeks ago based on the prospect of getting this toolkit. I figured the update would be released in a day or two.
Could you put me on a notification list of the release so I don't have to keep checking the web site or just give me an estimated date of release.
Thanks
August 6, 2008 8:26 AM PDT

can you give me any version of the program, to begin testing, in our company 800 machines from vpro.
August 6, 2008 9:28 AM PDT


Kevin
This has gone on long enough. When will this be resolved?
August 6, 2008 2:27 PM PDT


Ajay Mungara
Hey guys .. thanks for all your comments. The latest update I have is that the team is waiting for one FINAL approval from the trademarks & branding team and once that happens we should have the tool up on the site. Well, it has definitely been a long process and I really appreciate your continued patience and support.
August 6, 2008 2:28 PM PDT


Ajay Mungara
I have written a blog post explaining some of the details behind the delay.

Since the first release of Intel AMT, we are introduced and demonstrated how fine remote mangagement is working with this wonderful software. But the software is unavailable for us. I have been on two Intel Partner events, where AMT was demonstrated. Nice to see, but not to use !
What great politics ! Realy customer friendly.
August 9, 2008 6:32 PM PDT

Send you vPRO machines back to Dell and tell them why you are doing it. Ajay's doing all he can, but managment apparently needs to hear it from Dell.
August 12, 2008 2:08 PM PDT


Daniel Wood
I too am waiting for this tool to become available so I can make a recomendation on the future of VPro in my company. We have 755's with the technology currently and want to see if this lives up to Intel's demonstration. Unfortunately I don't have a way to test this. Soon we will be making purchase decisions for next year and right now I have no reason to recommend VPro other than Intel's promises.
August 17, 2008 12:16 PM PDT


Dave
My comment is that why isn't this issue receiving more attention? Intel has sold and marketed a product that at this point is completely useless. This is a complete sham.
August 17, 2008 8:30 PM PDT


Ajay Mungara
I was just told that the last step of the process is now complete. Ylian is making the recommended changes and he will be giving me the final version for me to publish. I am really hoping the tool will be available very very soon. Keeping my fingers crossed.
August 21, 2008 2:27 AM PDT

Hello,
I have big problem with v0.52.
Anybody has e.g. v0.40?
August 21, 2008 4:35 AM PDT


David Chung
Thank you Intel, for making the DTK available again. We decided to deploy motherboards with the Q35 chipsets (instead of G33) at a much higher cost, simply because of the DTK. So Ajay, we are keeping our fingers crossed too.

Finally, the DTK is back online. The name of the kit and tools has changed, but it's basically the same features as before. I am now working to update the name of the tools thruout documentation and web site.

The last post says the DTK is back online, I don't see a link to download. Am I missing something or is it not up yet?
August 25, 2008 3:15 PM PDT


Ken
Seems to have been back up this morning, now it's gone again. I grabbed the version from this morning, but it doesn't appear to be working. I'm probably missing something.

Thanks Jack. With one little URL you've been much more helpful than Intel.

Ajay Mungara and Ylian, This process has been unacceptable. We expect better from Intel. Your hardware rocks. Your software support pretty much sucks. Get it fixed.

Thanks for your work pushing this up the chain of command. Make sure they understand this is driving sales and making us laugh at the "No Excuses Vendor of Choice" Intel Value.
August 26, 2008 1:44 PM PDT


jack
Intel's position is that anyone who is interested in manageable systems will be using an 'enterprise' management suite. like LANdesk Tivoli, Open View, etc. There is no direct-to-consumer strategy.

They are completely missing the fact that there are lots of cases where people have 1-6 pc's in remote locations and want to use their vPro features without investing thousands in management software. That's the niche for DTK. Since they don't take that segment seriously, they have not given AMT the attention it needs.

Dear Intel,

I AM WILLING TO PAY PREMIUM PRICING FOR PCs CONTAINING VPRO. PLEASE PROVIDE THE SOFTWARE TO ALLOW ME TO JUSTIFY GIVING YOU LOTS OF MONEY.

THANK YOU.
August 26, 2008 4:28 PM PDT


Matt
Jack, I don't suppose you have the source code for the DTK that you could post for all of us to download?? And for the record Intel can add me to the list of VARs/Resellers/SysAdmins waiting to push their product if the would just hurry up and let me test the software.
August 26, 2008 4:45 PM PDT

I don't have anything myself, I just posted what I found on 'the google'.

If you know how to use the wayback machine and some URL common sense, even now you can still find v.51. I haven't been able to find .52, but .51 seems to work fairly well.

Thanks for all the work by those at Intel. I look forward to seeing the next release.

Thanks All.

I would really love to hear from all you on how you are using DTK and Intel AMT. This data will really help me to request resources to keep enhancing this tool with more and exciting features. I am open to any and all feedback -- good, bad and the ugly. Thanks again.

Hi
I am searching for a solution to get the Root Hash key on laptops with 2.6.x AMT BIOS version for a large scale deployment automatically.
Any way to do that?
The Commander is only working with the 3.2.1 BIOS Versions
We rolled-out successfully 2000 Computers, but Laptops are failing at the moment.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks

The 'USBFile.exe' is only included in the SDK - http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/download-the-latest-intel-amt.....t-kit-sdk.
Look in the compiled Windows Configuration sample for this file.
