The vPro and Centrino Pro products will most likely improve your asset inventory accuracy when you pair them with a powerful management console to do your data consolidation.

Both the Core 2 Processor based desktop and Intel® Centrino® with vProTM Technology mobile platforms have a very simple (yet powerful) usage model of providing inventory information about each system back to a centralized mangement console for data collection and manipulation.

A great example is found on Altiris Juice written by Joel Smith -> check it out

I've also attached a PDF with the results of the Top 10 pilot test results from implementing vPro technology - the results are impressive!

A good demo that speaks in layman's terms is here: http://www.intel.com/business/business-pc/demo/demo.htm?iid=tech_vpro+rhc_technologydemo

The "Diagnose" section of the demo specifically has remote support information.

Today on the vPro Radio show I was talking about the benefits of remote mgmt. Here's a quick video on remote mgmt.

The value is to be able to remotely manage those desktops that are either in blue screen, non functional mode or when you want to get into the bios to change something like the boot order, therefore booting to a CD-ROM first vs. the hard drive.

Reply 10. How to turn off AMT? Mar 31, 2008 12:30 AM

We're not ready to deploy AMT - maybe end of 2008 or into 2009. However, many PCs are coming from vendors with AMT enabled in the BIOS and software installed in Windows. Can we remove software services but leave it enabled in the BIOS? Or is BIOS disable required if software services are not running? If we remove AMT software, how does one re-install it?

Thanks,
Russell

Hey,

i just received a new laptop with Intel vPro. For my first visit on Vista, an Intel message was open, this message says: ``Intel Active Management Technology (Intel AMT) status on this computer is: disabled. To enable or disbale Intel AMT, contact your authorized system administrator.``

So does i need to contact Microsoft? And what does i need to say they about this probleme.

Thank you

Is there such a thing as vPro for notebooks?! I have 130 notebooks spread across the planet used by helicopter maintenance techs. I'd like to standardize on Dell 430's and be able to support them in a utopian way!!!

Great question Russell. the dialogue box is just a notification that AMT (Intel Active Management Technology) is turned off in the BIOS. You don't have to contact microsoft to resolve, however I would look into more Intel vPro Technology features & how they can assist in your IT Management & Security of your clients. If you need a quick game plan, check out the following post by Russ.

Intel has provided several drivers as part of the final Windows Vista release. The driver version and other information can be found in the following table:

Intel Graphics Driver Version/Build	Driver Model Supported	Driver Versions Supported	Intel Graphics Chipsets Supported
