It is ME 8 Consumer driver.

I have been able to install it with the LMS service using this: dl.dell.com/FOLDER04469185M/5/Intel-Management-Engine-Components-Installer_C3VMM_WIN_11.0.6.1194_A02.EXE
Then I have been able to run this correctly (after installing SCS): ACUConfig.exe DisableClientControlMode

So problem solved, maybe the link can be useful for others.

With the X299, even installing only the MEI drivers, the LMS device is present, but with a generic driver (and therefore a different name)

LMS is part of AMT, thus Corporate drivers, not Consumer. If you had installed "Intel MEI Drivers & Software Corporate v11.0.6.1194 (ME 7-8)", you would have gotten it installed as well.

The driver package you linked above from Dell is a Corporate one, that's why LMS started working. You downloaded it from a different place, that's all. LMS is part of AMT/vPro (Corporate/5MB) platforms. What's in Consumer drivers is a placeholder for Device Manager, that's why it didn't work.

Ok thanks ;)

If you only install the mei driver, windows update will download Intel Dynamic Application Loader Host interface (1914.13.0.1065) and respective services automatically. LMS, iCLS and DAL_WC will show up as generic software device and provide no functionality.

ME is getting more and more bloated...
If I only install the intel generic inf (no functionality), what am I loosing as a user apart from impossibility to update the ME firmware?

@plutomaniac @tistou77

Sorry for keeping on about this, but I as well got a little confused by the Device manager placeholders for the LMS, DAL and ICLS functions, because we only installed the bare minimum and those seem to be AMT/corporate functions.

Like @TigTex mentioned, the Intel DAL (jhi) service auto installs v1914.13.0.1065 (dated 4/4/2019) through Win Update, even when disabling the installation of drivers through WU in advanced system settings and even local group policy.
So there doesn't seem to be a way to keep this from installing. The question here is, is this a corparate function and do we keep the 1914.13.0.1065 version installed by Windows or do we update it with the latest one v1.36.2020.121 (dated 23/01/2020) from the package @tistou77 posted from station drivers?: https://www.station-drivers.com/index.ph...id=4389&lang=en

Whats even more confusing is that the version numbering of the newer dal.inf is completely different from the old one and now the new 2016 MEI package posted by @tistou77 seems to contain the same (older) 1914.13.0.1065 dal.inf

The description provided by Intel of what DAL exactly is doesn't really clarify if this is a sole corporate function or not either: https://software.intel.com/content/www/u.../tools/dal.html

That's why I asked you in my previous post what you're advise was regarding this, because right now we are groping in the dark here.

@snixel Maybe better to install the latest version of DAL then (instead of that of WU)
