# Maintenance Policies for Intel AMT

After a system is configured, it is recommended to maintain and periodically update the configuration settings in the Intel AMT device. If you do not, your management console might lose connection with the Intel AMT device. For systems where this occurs, the Intel AMT features will not be available from your management console. Also, for increased security, it is recommended to periodically renew the passwords used by Intel AMT. Any password that is not changed regularly causes a risk that it might be discovered by persons without approval. If a password is discovered, it could be used to get access to the system via the Intel AMT device.

It is the responsibility of the network administrator to define and schedule the necessary maintenance tasks for their network environment.
