Hi Amankahlon888,
I want to address both issues you are having:
- failure of the AMT configuration task
- error message received why you try to connect to a system via the Intel® Manageability Commander add-on for SCCM.
The configuration task error “failed to authenticate with RCS. Access Denied” is almost always a problem with WMI permissions.
Assuming that you took the defaults when creating the configuration task sequence, you will need to give Domain Computers access to DCOM and to the RCS namespace on the RCS server.
Give Domain Computers access to the RCS namespace:
- Run WMIMgmt.msc
- Right click WMI Control and choose Properties
- Select the Security tab
- Click the ‘+’ next to Root
- Click on Intel_RCS and click the Security button
- Click Add and add Domain Computers
- Click on Domain Computers and make sure they have Execute Methods, Full Write and Remote Enable permissions
- click Apply
Give Domain Computers access to DCOM
- Run DCOMCNFG.exe
- Under Component Services, right click on My Computer and click Properties
- Click on the Com Security tab and click "Edit Limits" under "Launch and Activation Permissions"
- On the Security Limits screen, add Domain Computers and give them Remote Launch and Remote Activation permissions
After performing these steps, retry the configuration task and let us know if it works.
The failure on Intel® Manageability Commander (IMC) is more of a mystery. Please check your registry for the key \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Intel\Intel Manageability Commander. If it's not there, please try uninstalling/reinstalling Manageability Commander.
Please let us know if this resolves the IMC issue.
