A large amount of content has been posted - with more coming - on how to activate and utilize the Intel vPro Technology in a Symantec\Altiris environment. The following provide a few examples of what is available today:

Using the technology
- Combining In-Band and Out-of-Band Management - http://www.symantec.com/community/article/6473/combining-band-and-out-band-management
- Scripting an Intel AMT Power-on - http://www.symantec.com/community/article/6546/scripting-intel-amt-remote-power
Finding and Activating the technology
- Using a custom inventory to find Intel AMT capable systems - http://www.symantec.com/community/article/6382/scanning-environment-intel-amt-capable-systems
- Online video workshop for provisioning\using the technology - http://www.symantec.com/community/training/2944/video-workshop-intel-vpro-activation-updated
- Index of additional resources, best known methods, and material - http://communities.intel.com/docs/DOC-2032

Additional insights on deployments, new capabilities with the technology, and so forth will be coming.

Question for this community - what would you like to see?

To give you a few hints of collateral in progress or being considered:

How to interpret and utilize the AMTSCAN data
Considerations for environments with drive encryption and power-on passwords
Green IT and Intel vPro
Intel vPro and Symantec Workflow.... or related ideas on "service oriented architecture" enablements
Automating via a provisionserver appliance
Using WS-MAN and vbscript to provision a client
New features and capabilities with Altiris version 7
More "real world" deployment model experiences (building off the following - http://www.symantec.com/community/book/4821/deployment-scenarios-intel-vpro-altiris-environment)

Do any of those topics tickle the imagination or stir thoughts on what is needed? Although I cannot guarantee when these articles will be posted - definitely like to hear from the community on what would be of greatest interest.
