About installation and enablement of SMA service:

    During AMS installation in interactive mode, there is pop up message to selectively install SMA.
        If Yes is selected, SMA service will be installed and set to running state.
        If No is selected, SMA service will be installed but the service is not enabled.

    During AMS installation in silent mode, SMA is installed but the service is not enabled.
    To enable SMA service at a later time, go to the following folder: %ProgramFiles%\OEM\AMS\Service\ (Typically c:\Program Files\OEM\AMS\Service) and execute "EnableSma.bat /f"
    IMPORTANT: The SNMP service community name and permission must also be setup. This is not done by EnableSma.bat.
    To disable SMA after it has been enabled, go to the following folder: %ProgramFiles%\OEM\AMS\Service\ (Typically c:\Program Files\OEM\AMS\Service) and execute "DisableSma.bat /f"
    After installing Windows operating system, make sure all the latest Microsoft Updates are downloaded and installed (wuapp.exe can be launched to start the update process). If this is not done, a critical error may be reported in Windows Event Log, The Agentless Management Service terminated unexpectedly..

 

AMS Control Panel Applet:

    The AMS control panel applet UI is best displayed on the system when screen resolution is 1280 x 1024 pixels or higher and text size 100%.
    Test trap generated from AMS Control Panel Applet requires iLO5 firmware version 2.10 and newer.

    When in iLO5 high security mode (e.g. FIPS mode), MD5 authentication protocol will not be shown.

Notes:

    IML events marked as repaired in ILO will not be mirrored in Windows Event Log.
    Recommend user enables code integrity policy after AMS installed.
    If Windows Server 2016 Device Guard policy is enabled, AMS can be upgraded from an older version to a newer version,  but it cannot be uninstalled.  To uninstall AMS, the Device Guard policy needs to be temporarily disabled.
    AMS Control Panel applet SNMP tab does not show SNMP settings and does not allow test trap generation
      when iLO5 encryption is set to SuiteB NSA mode.  Please use iLO5->Management page as an alternate option
    AMS may exhibit slow memory consumption increase in Windows Task Manager. This is due to known WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) issue in Microsoft Windows. It is expected be fixed in future Microsoft Windows updates or versions. To slow down memory consumption either:

             1. Restart  the AMS service (type 'net stop ams' followed by 'net start ams' in a command prompt) ...OR...

             2. Create a new DWORD registry value named PollInterval in registry's HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\hpeams\Parameters and set its value to higher than decimal 300. This value will determine  how often (in seconds) AMS reads data from WMI.
