Intel SCS - System Discovery Utility

System Discovery Utility is an essential part of Intel's Setup and Configuration Software (SCS) that enables you to gather detailed information on technologies like Active Management Technology or Standard Manageability. Besides its primary function, this utility is capable of collecting data from all systems.

Key Features:

• Retrieve comprehensive information on Intel technologies


• Collect data using the MEI driver or directly from the BIOS


• Run the utility from a command line on a single system


• Create deployment packages for multiple system use


• Requires administrator permissions for operation


• Generate logs in XML format for record-keeping

The System Discovery Utility extracts data using the MEI driver. If the driver is not installed or enabled, information is sourced directly from the system's BIOS. This emphasizes the importance of having the correct BIOS version on your platform.

Functionality:

If you need to run the utility on multiple systems simultaneously, it is advisable to incorporate it into a deployment package that can be distributed across the network.

Administrator permissions are necessary to run the utility, given the sensitive nature of the information it collects. The utility generates logs that can be saved as XML to a specified location on your hard drive or within the system's registry. Note that log files are created for each session conducted.
