    Is it possible to just use the system account (i.e NetworkService) and not Granting permissions on RCS Server to CM_AMT account?  What is the benefit of using a separate account, or is it a hard requirement?

    In my actual configuraiton (described in this serie of articles), the "Intel AMT Remote Configuration Task Sequence" deployed by SCCM is run under CM_AMT account (as configured in part 1). You can always verify that account by editing the Intel AMT remote configuration task sequence and see the "Run this step as the following account" field. The last command I describe in that Part 2 article is to grant permission to CM_AMT to connect to RCS Server remotely and get the AMT profile. If you used the SCCM Primary site server account in Part 1 instead of CM_AMT, then you will need to grand permissions on RCS Server to that primary site server. Using Network Service account as RCS Service account is what Intel recommends for security reason.
