# Support for a Workgroup Environment

You can configure and use most Intel AMT settings on systems in a peer-to-peer network (a Workgroup). This table shows settings that require services that are not usually available in a Workgroup.

# | To define this setting... | You must have...
--- | --- | ---
1 | Active Directory Integration | Access to an Active Directory (AD) Note: You must configure setting #1 if you want to configure settings #2, #3, or #4 Settings #3 and #4 also need access to a CA
2 | Kerberos Users
3 | 802.1x Setups
4 | Endpoint Access Control (EAC)
5 | Transport Layer Security (TLS) | Access to a Certification Authority (CA) Note: If you define Remote Access to use password-based authentication, access to a CA is not necessary.
6 | Remote Access
In a Workgroup without access to a Domain you cannot configure settings #1 - #4 on Intel AMT systems. You can configure settings #5 and #6, but only on systems with Intel AMT 6.2 and higher.

Users in a Workgroup do not have the necessary permissions to connect to the AD or the CA. This means that the Intel SCS component, which is running on a computer in the Workgroup, cannot access the AD/CA.

Thus, to configure these settings in a Workgroup, you must use one of these methods:

Method #1: Supply a user with the necessary permissions

1. In the Profile Designer, create a profile with the settings that you want to configure.
2. When you save the profile, in the “Finish” window, supply the username and password of a user that has permissions to connect to the AD/CA.

Method #2: Prepare the necessary data in files

1. In the Profile Designer, create a profile with the settings that you want to configure.
2. To define Active Directory Integration, select the “Path to file containing ADOU information” option (see Defining Active Directory Integration).
3. For each setting with which you want to use certificate-based authentication, select the “Use certificate from a file” option (see Using Predefined Files Instead of a CA Request).
