Intel® vPro™ and Intel® Centrino® Pro Processor Technology Quick Start Guide Intel vPro Enterprise Setup and Configuration Flow Prior to executing the steps for configuring the Intel vPro components (Intel AMT and Intel ME) in Enterprise standard mode, it is first important to understand the overall flow of the Enterprise mode configuration process In Enterprise mode, an Intel vPro machine receives its configuration settings over the network, once it has been prepared with some initial setup information. -
Page 7: Step 1: Configure Existing It Infrastructure
Intel® vPro™ and Intel® Centrino® Pro Processor Technology Quick Start Guide Step 1: Configure Existing IT Infrastructure In order for an Intel vPro machine to be manageable, it must become known to the management console. The process by which this occurs is called “provisioning”. Enterprise setup (pre-provisioning) requires a series of steps that are performed on both the Intel vPro clients and the SCS in order to prepare the client for provisioning over the network by the SCS (which acts as the provisioning server for the Intel vPro clients). -
