Hi Gael,
I had the same "Morse Code" problem on a T400 and thought it was a one-of-a-kind..

But, I have some good news for you... there is a Lenovo BIOS update that addresses this and it worked me...

As to the question of how to get the ME back to factory default, here isn the process I use:

In BIOS, select Config-> Intel (R) AMT-> Intel (R) AMT Control- Disable ... exit BIOS and reboot

Then repeat the above enabling the AMT control, and you will be back at factory default- PWD is "admin" again

Hi all.  It's been a bit since my last blog and I did commit to sharing out the HW inventory list that we used for Park N Patch.  here's the list:

• CF-19  - Panasonic Tough Book (note:  this a Montevina based platform, which is a Centrino2 w/ vPro Technology)

• LiIon Polymer Universal Battery 90 Watt (this is the ticket for making the machine believe it's powered on for a few hours after the key is pulled from the service truck).

• Access Point - Netgear WNR834B v2  (802.11g using WPA)

• Console Laptop – HP 6910p  (we used this as a light weight console, vs. a true server or desktop)

• Console – Altiris

•   12 battery (i.e. simulates the truck battery)

• Universal Auto 12v adapter to provide 16V to external battery

Matt & I were able to spend a few moments in Las Vegas during a sales event to talk about certificates & vPro.  If you are having console issues listen in on this one.  it will be worth the time.

A recent discovery (thank you Frank) of Intel Proset that may impact your ability to wireless manage your vPro systems.  While I realize this may impact a very small group of folks I still believe it's valueable to post out.   Here's the issue if you have users log out of their notebook system and leave it powered on windows, while utilizing Intel Proset you may loose control of the machine for vPro management. 

Need to be sure this box is checked. It’s part of the properties for the wireless profile. Note, Microsoft Zero Configuration has this set by default.  Hopefully this helps if you run into this problem. 

Prior to vacation I was asked to show how to manage a vPro via an iPhone.  Here it is.. 

I was talking with the marketing team this last week about what they have for hot video's that are showing vPro in use with End User's. They shared this list with me and I thought I would share with you all as well. I wish these were in a better format to play on demand, however for the time being here they are for you.
