To guide our implementation of Intel® vPro™ technology throughout our environment, we developed a use case implementation methodology that describes how to identify the highest priority use cases, develop an implementation roadmap, analyze the required changes to support processes, and train support agents. We have used this methodology to successfully implement four enterprise use cases, and we are continuing to use it to implement other use cases on our roadmap. Read the details in Intel® vPro™ Technology: From Provisioning to Use Case Implementation (PDF, 898KB).

Simplifying the Provisioning Process
Wednesday, February 11th, 2009Intel® Core™2 processor with vPro™ technology and Intel® Centrino® with vPro™ technology include a core component called Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT). Intel® AMT extends management capabilities for in-band and out-of-band management. As a security measure, these features may not be active when received from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) vendor. Intel AMT must be activated (or provisioned) in order to benefit from these additional management capabilities. This paper focuses on four key aspects of enterprise mode provisioning of Intel AMT systems.
