Updated: May 14, 2015

Applies To: System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1, System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP2, System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager, System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager SP1

If you have configured System Center 2012 Configuration Manager for AMT auditing, you can enable and disable auditing on selected Intel AMT-based computers, you can update existing audit settings, you can export the auditing entries to a file, and you can clear the auditing log. You might have to clear the audit log on AMT-based computers to make more space in the log for new entries. All the auditing features that you can select by using Configuration Manager are categorized as noncritical, and depending on your AMT version, these might stop writing to the audit log when it is 85 percent full or might start overwriting old entries. You can save the current audit log entries and delete them from an AMT-based computer by using the out of band management console.

Use the following procedures to manage the audit log for AMT-based computers:

  • To enable auditing and update audit settings on AMT-based computers

  • To disable auditing on AMT-based computers

  • To export the audit log for AMT-based computers

  • To clear the audit log on AMT-based computers

  • To monitor auditing activities by using status messages

Before you perform these procedures, you must configure Configuration Manager for AMT auditing as described in Step 5: Configuring the Out of Band Management Component.
