@ eroli23:

The CSME looks just fine, healthy. Since it works under DOS, everything else you see is OS related. Make sure you have valid MEI drivers installed and that you are not running background utilities which might cause interferences. In your case, I suggest you use the DOS tools to update or receive info from MEInfo and MEManuf. By the way, you can add "> meinfo.txt", "> memanuf.txt" or similar at the end of the command to save the output into text files which you can then compress and attach here.

Successfully flashed 11.8 on my Asus Z170-A with latest BIOS 3504 and FW 11.7.4, but could someone please explain what this means:

Re-key needed True

Thanks.

Thank you for the report Gus.Ghanem. This is also something new with MEInfo v11.8, probably related to the very important vulnerability that got fixed at the equivalent CSME firmware. Not sure what it means though, at least not yet.

What vulnerability? Got me worried!

Fwiw I would imagine if you've got an Asus Z170 type board you should be on the 3000 series bios release if you plan to run higher than 11.6?

Thanks

Zitat von davidm71 im Beitrag #3357
What vulnerability?

It is neither confirmed by Intel nor by the researchers, but I believe that these Minor version increases with Hotfix 50 (11.8.50, 11.11.50 and possibly 11.21.50) patch this vulnerability which will be presented in early December.

@ Gus.Ghanem:

It's probably something for the OEM to do or maybe only 100-series related. I don't know but I suppose we'll learn at some point in the near future.

INTEL-SA-00101 Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) protocol vulnerability

Zitat
Intel Active Management Technology
- Affected versions:
--- 2.5.x, 2.6, 4.x, 6.x, 7.x, 8.x, 9.x, 10.x, and 11.0-11.8
- Mitigated versions:
--- 8.x, 9.x, 10.x, and 11.8
(For Intel Active Management Technology, there is no planned Intel® Manageability Engine firmware update for versions 2.x-7.x because those versions are no longer supported.)

I think it means Intel recommend upgrade from 11.0-11.7 to 11.8.

I installed another ME driver and managed to solve it meinfowin64.exe and memanufwin64.exe from the windows (Admin Command prompt).
I can also update 11.8.50.3399 version?

As I said earlier, everything looks good indeed. Yes it is possible to update to v11.8 firmware. To be on the safe side, I always urge people to first check the 2nd "Warning for all 100/200/300-series systems" at the first post.

Hello. :) I have Asus X99-A II with i7-6850K running under Windows 7 x64 OS. I've read opening posts of this topic a few times but they seem to be beyond my comprehension and I need some kind of additional explanation.

Asus is offering many different drivers on my mainboard's webpage to download. These are drivers for Chipset, Audio, LAN, USB, SATA and, also, Intel Management Engine Interface. The problem is that I know what all of them do except one: this last IMEI "driver".

I know that, for example, Chipset drivers allow to identify chipset devices to let them do their jobs, SATA drivers allow to increase drives transfer rates, Audio drivers allow to increase sound quality, Graphics drivers allow to work/play in greater resolutions etc.

But what does IMEI give to "average PC user" like me? I've installed all drivers except IMEI and I can't see any more unidentified devices. Do I need to install IMEI even then? What are the main benefits? Are there any applications that require IMEI to be installed?

Here is a quote from 3rd post:

Zitat
What is MEI: (...) it is an interface that uses the Intel ME hardware features to enable an interaction between high- and low-level hardware systems in a system. With this Intel feature, the administrators can now handle the tasks without intervention of the human beings. This has simplified various tasks in a computer system. Intel Management Engine Interface allows you to work in both low as well as high level hardware environments.

Based on this quote, my closest idea "what does IMEI do?" is: it provides more accurate data required by system monitoring applications (like HWiNFO) or when we would like to test overall system stability (like OCCT) - with no IMEI installed such monitoring applications could display incorrect values. Am I right?
