MeshCmd, The new Intel AMT command line tool

Just posted on the MeshCommander.com web site a new do-it-all command line tool for Intel® AMT that runs on both Windows and Linux. The new tool is called “MeshCmd” also called “MeshCommand”. It makes it easy to do all sorts of things with Intel AMT including: get Intel AMT state, perform basic activation, LMS services, configuration and remote management of other Intel AMT computers on the network and much more. If you are in the Intel AMT space, take a look at the new MeshCmd tutorial video on YouTube, it’s really worth a watch.
MeshCmd is a single executable file available for download on MeshCommander.com along with a full user’s guide (pdf). Here is a quick list of what MeshCmd can do in the context of Intel AMT:
  • Get the local state of Intel AMT, including version, activation state and more.
  • Show the Intel AMT audit log of your local computer (even without any credentials) or of a remote computer.
  • Startup LMS services along with local hosting of MeshCommander for LMS, a special version of the console specially built for local Intel AMT management.
  • Launch a locally hosted version of MeshCommander and start managing computers on your local network.
  • Push or clear MeshCommander from Intel AMT 11.6+ firmware, replacing the default WebUI with a fully featured web console.
  • Perform Intel AMT client control mode activation and deactivation.
MeshCmd is built on technology used to build MeshCentral2 and of course, MeshCmd integrates well with the MeshCentral2 server. Bryan Roe has been instrumental in making this tool possible, he has authored many components of it but especially of value is the lightweight JavaScript runtime engine this tool is built on top of. The scope of this tool is quite spectacular in that it has full MEI access, an Intel AMT LMS, a full WSMAN stack and no less than 3 versions of MeshCommander built-in. It will auto-detect if LMS is already running and use its own built-in LMS if one is not present and all this while running on both Windows and Linux.

Enjoy,
Ylian

MeshCentral - Windows ARM64, NodeJS v11, NPM Packages

Hi all. It's been a while since I last posted and now that I am settling a bit more in my work at Microsoft, I have a bit of time to occasionally look after MeshCentral again. It's about time, there where a bunch of things that needed to get fixed. Before that, I want to say that I am doing great. I am working on Microsoft Forms which is one of the offerings of Microsoft 365. For kicks, I started a YouTube channel on Microsoft Forms here during a Microsoft hacking week. I tried to up my game since the videos I last published for MeshCentral. Also, I wanted to share pictures below. I was at a Tesla Supercharger last weekend and, by luck, got to see a Tesla Cybertruck in person. It's very big. Obviously, this is a release candidate driven by a Tesla employee. I saw it after attempting to see the solar eclipse over Oregon, but sadly, too many clouds and saw nothing. In any case, back to MeshCentral. In the last few months a few things have happened with the new releases. Wind

Starting work at Microsoft

Hi everyone. It’s been a while since the last blog post and I wanted up update everyone on what is going on. As many of you know already from a discussion on GitHub , Bryan and I have been laid-off from Intel in early November 2022. This was quite a surprise as MeshCentral, MeshCommander, MeshCMD and other tools where widely used. This said, Intel has been having poor financials and Bryan and I where part of a very large first wave of downsizing by the company that involved many people that I know and worked with for a long time. I had been working for Intel for over 25 years having started in September 1998. Over the years I worked on IPsec key negotiation, Universal Plug & Play, DLNA and Intel® AMT. I loved working on all these projects and especially loved working with the open-source community on Mesh projects. Obviously, this was not my decision and Bryan and I had look for what comes next. One option was to continue working on MeshCentral as part of another company or with
