Hello to the vPro community!

I'm David Randall, and have been working in the Configuration Manager team over the last year to develop our integration with Intel's AMT hardware.

I recently attended MMS 2008, and was very happy to hear all the enthusiasm around the Configuration Manager integration, and your plans to use vPro in conjunction with ConfigMgr.

I plan to post here weekly with new information that we've learned about ConfigMgr / AMT integration, help you with some walk throughs, list interesting new uses for vPro and where possible, help you streamline your Configuration Manager deployment with vPro.

Thanks, and here's to out of band management!

David Randall
