I think that post is a little misleading around the WOL part, but hopefully I'm wrong since I haven't implemented with SCS9 and CM12 R2. When you use SCS to provision and SCCM to manage you only get the Kerberos enabled pieces which are found in the OOB console so you should be able to set the alarm clock feature in AMT5.1 and above, but I don't think you get the true WOL feature in your advertisements that is expected. Otherwise yes you get KVM, IDER, and Power control in a one to one scenario which is enough for most.
Some gotchas I've found: Certs: If you have more than one root domain you'll need multiple certs for each domain or a SAN cert from one of the supported vendors. Network: Make sure your network folks configure option 15 and option 81 Post Provisioning: Make sure you have Intel Management and Security Status (IMSS) installed on your systems. By default you will most likely have the AMT driver which will allow you to provision, but not the software driver for the OS to communicate with the chip. You need to run acuconfig maintenance tasks on the systems periodically so they update the chip with the correct IP address. Then when you run a discovery that information will get updated and you can keep a happy healthy environment. Otherwise in time your SCS console will fill up with un-configured systems which you'll have to re-provision to force the update.

It would seem, according to Intel's information, that you could do the "Host" based provisioning and use SCCM to deploy the provisioning EXE along with the XML file. Or am I missing something here?
