# Discovering Systems

Command | SystemDiscovery
Description | Gets data about the Intel AMT device and the host platform. The data can be saved in an XML file on the system and/or in the registry. If saved in the registry, the data is saved in each system at this location: 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Intel\Setup and Configuration Software\SystemDiscovery In addition, on 64-bit operating systems: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Intel\Setup and Configuration Software\SystemDiscovery Intel SCS also includes a standalone Discovery utility that you can use for this task instead of the Configurator. The utility contains only the SystemDiscovery command. The utility is located in the SCS_Discovery folder. Note: On systems that do not have Intel AMT, this command gets data from the host platform only. For information about the data that is collected, refer to the Intel(R)_SCS_Discovery.pdf, located in the SCS_Discovery folder.
Syntax | ACUConfig.exe [global options] SystemDiscovery {[<filename>] | [/NoFile]} [/NoRegistry] [/AdminPassword <password>]
Parameters
[global options] | See CLI Global Options
<filename> | By default, the name of the XML file is the FQDN of the system and it is saved in the same folder as the Configurator. You can change this default name and location by supplying the <filename> parameter. Example: ACUConfig.exe SystemDiscovery C:\MyXMLFile.xml This example creates an XML file named “MyXMLFile” in the root of C. In addition, a log file is created (see Configurator Log Files).
/NoFile | Do not save data in an XML file. If you use this parameter, do not use the <filename> parameter.
/NoRegistry | Do not save data in the registry of the system
/AdminPassword <password> | The current password of the default Digest admin user defined in the Intel AMT device. The SystemDiscovery command gets some of the data about Intel AMT using the WS-Man interface. To use this interface, administrator permissions in Intel AMT are necessary. Without administrator permissions, this data cannot be retrieved and a warning message will be recorded in the log. This parameter is NOT necessary if any of these are true: The device is in an unconfigured state The user account running the Configurator is a Kerberos account that is configured in the Intel AMT device with administrator permissions
