Intel AMT 5.0 Provisioning Automation

Greetings,
PLATFORM INFORMATION:
WINDOWS XP SP3 PROFESSIONAL VLM
INTEL AMT 5.0.2.1121 Rev. A (10 Nov 2008)
HP Compaq DC7900 Small Form Factor

QUESTION:
I have about 5000 HP Compaq DC7900 computers that are shipping and I need to find a way to automatically provision them.

My windows image is using "My Sysprep" to automatically name them based on the serial number
I.E. XXXXSerialNo
This information has to be within the AMT Configuration along with the domain name and AMT ME password.

This is about a 5-10 minute process for each computer.
Afterwords I know these can be re-provisioned automatically though for the first setup I'm need to automate as much or all of this setup as possible.

Initially I would setup them up in SMB mode as all the pieces are not inplace for enterprise mode though I would move there quickly as possible.

Ideally I'd like to start with Enterprise Mode.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You should be able to have Sysprep run "mini set-up" to prompt a physical user to enter the appropriate Host name on the first boot.

Is this possible in your situation?

Sysprep doesn't correlate to Intel AMT Provisioning

Thanks Gidds99,

This is some good information for Sysprep.
I'm talking about Intel AMT ME Client accessed through CTRL+P

Any help on that?
