MEBX password through the network. The Intel MEBX password can always be changed via the 
Intel MEBX user interface.

interface if the default password has not been changed yet. 
During Setup and Configuration – The Intel MEBX password can be changed through 
the network interface during the setup and configuration process but at no other time. Once 
the setup and configuration process is complete, the Intel MEBX password cannot be changed 
via the network interface.

time 
14. Network Setup. 
Intel ME Network Name Settings 
a.  Host Name 
Enter a Host Name 
Default Setting    : None 
Recommended Setting  : User Dependent 
Note that spaces are not accepted in the host name. Make sure there is not a duplicate 
host name on the network. Hostnames can be used in place of the system’s IP for any 
applications requiring the IP address. 
b.  Domain Name 
Enter a domain name 
Default Setting    : None 
Recommended Setting  : Network Dependent 
The domain name is blank by default. If it is not populated, then the default domain of 
“Provisionserver” will be used when connecting to a Setup and Configuration Server. If 
the name of the S&CS is not “Provisionserver” and the domain name is blank, then an 
alias must be set up in the DHCP server to redirect the connection for “Provisionserver” to 
the proper S&CS domain name. If the domain name field is populated, then that will be 
the domain used. However, if there is no response after four DNS queries to the named 
domain, then that domain name will no longer be used and the default “Provisionserver” 
will be used. 
c.  Subnet Mask Address 
Share/Dedicated FQDN 
Default: Setting: Shared 
Recommended Setting: Shared 
This setting determines whether the Intel ME Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) (i.e. 
the "HostName. DomainName") is shared with the host and identical to the operating 
system machine name or dedicated to the Intel ME. 
d.  Dynamic DNS Update 
Default: Setting: Disabled 
Recommended Setting: Disabled
