SCCM Right Click Menu for AMT Out of Band Functions

While working with the new SCCM version, I noticed that I was missing some Intel AMT Integration that I used to have, and decided to look into it and made a right click menu to get back some of the functionality. After building this plugin, options for restarting, power onoff, and KVM should show under a vPro Tab on the right click menu.

Installation of PowerShell AMT 1:1 Reboots from SCCM Console

1. Close SCCM Console
2. Download and install vPro Powershell Module on SCCM Server (Download Intel® vPro™ Technology module for Windows* PowerShell)
3. On SCCM Server go to C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Configuration ManagerAdminConsoleXmlStorageExtensionsActions
   1. Create folder 3fd01cd1-9e01-461e-92cd-94866b8d1f39

      This folder title is a GUID that translates to where the menu will pop up (there are different GUIDs for other locations)

   2. Inside Folder create xml file – IntelvProExt.xml
      
   3. Edit file to include following

<ActionDescription

                DisplayName="Intel vPro"

                MnemonicDisplayName="Intel vPro"

                Description="Contains commands for Intel vPro hardware">

                                                Description="Sends a forced PowerShell Reboot"

                                                RibbonDisplayType="TextAndSmallImage">

                                                                <string>DefaultContextualTab</string>

                                                </ShowOn>

                                                <Executable>

                                                                <FilePath>C:WindowsSystem32WindowsPowerShellv1.0powershell.exe</FilePath>

                                                                <Parameters>Invoke-AMTForceBoot ##SUB:Name##.vprodemo.com -tls -operation reset -device harddrive</Parameters>

                                                </Executable>

                                </ActionDescription>

                </ActionGroups>

</ActionDescription>

1. d. Save and Close File
2. e. Restart SCCM Console
3. Right click menu will now have Intel vPro menu with PowerShell Reboot Options

From here we have a basic powershell reboot for AMT systems. should look something like this

After having reboots taken care of I figured I would expand this menu a bit and get some more functionality baked in.
