The Detect and Activate page detects and displays machines with vPro capable chipsets. Once detected, vPro can issue a command to enable or disable vPro on that machine. With a vPro enabled machine you can also use this page to manually assign a vPro proxy. You can also enter a known password for a vPro machine activated outside of Kaseya or change the password of a vPro machine activated by Kaseya.
Actions
Detect - Determines if selected machines have the vPro chipset and are vPro capable.
Enable vPro - Enables (activates) vPro capability on selected machines. A vPro machine must be enabled to perform any of the other functions on this page. The ability to enable a vPro machine remotely from the VSA depends on the version of AMT on the vPro machine.
AMT 6.0 and below - vPro must be enabled manually.
AMT 6.1 - Host Based Configuration is disabled by default. Once enabled, vPro can be enabled by clicking the Enable vPro button.
AMT 6.2 - Host Based Configuration may be enabled. Once enabled, vPro can be enabled by clicking the Enable vPro button.
AMT 7.0 and above - Host Based Configuration is enabled by default. vPro can be enabled by clicking the Enable vPro button.
Note: A warning displays if you attempt to enable a vPro machine and it does not have the Local Manageability Service (LMS) drivers required to activate vPro capability.
Disable vPro - Disables (deactivates) vPro capability on selected machines.
vPro Password
Assign New Password - Reset a known, existing vPro password in both the vPro machine and the VSA. If a vPro machine is enabled for the first time using vPro then matching passwords are automatically set.
Enter Existing Password - If a vPro machine has already been enabled (activated) prior to being detected by the VSA the vPro password already exists. Use this option to enter the matching vPro password.
Note: The AMT Password column on this page shows the assigned vPro password for a machine.
Manually Assign vPro Proxy - Manually assigns selected machines to a different vPro Proxy.
Advanced Options
Use TLS - If the vPro machine was activated outside of Kaseya and configured to only accept TLS-secured connections, then enable this option to allow Kaseya to connect to this machine.
Connect Via Domain Name - If the vPro machine's local IP address is not reachable by the vPro Proxy, then enable this setting to connect using the vPro machine's fully-qualified domain name. For example, the vPro Proxy can only connect via a VPN connection instead of a direct local connection.
When connecting to KVM directly
Use AMT Redirection Ports - if the vPro machine was activated outside of Kaseya and configured to not listen on the default VNC port, then enable this setting. If the vPro machine was configured to only listen on the default VNC port, then disable this setting.
Use logged-in AD user - If the vPro machine was activated outside of Kaseya and configured to accept only AD accounts, and not the built-in vPro admin account, then enable this setting. This option cannot be used with vPro Proxy connections.
When connecting to KVM via a proxy
Use AMT Redirection Ports - if the vPro machine was activated outside of Kaseya and configured to not listen on the default VNC port, then enable this setting. If the vPro machine was configured to only listen on the default VNC port, then disable this setting.
Table Columns
Machine ID - The machine ID / group ID of the agent machine.
AMT Version - The version of Intel Active Management Technology used by the vPro machine.
Enabled - If checked, vPro is enabled on this machine.
AMT Password - The AMT password used to access to the vPro machine.
KVM Password - The KVM password assigned this vPro machine.
KVM Mode
Client Control Mode - When a KVMView session is started, a randomly generated consent code is displayed on the remote machine's monitor. You will need a local user to read the consent code to you. Or,
Admin Control Mode - The machine was previously activated while associated with a vPro Proxy configured with a security certificate. Instructions are provided for configuring a security certificate for a vPro Proxy. This advanced feature enables a VSA user to start a KVM session without requiring a consent code provided by a local user.
AMT SKU - The type of Active Management Technology device. Different AMT SKUs support different sets of vPro features.
Associated vPro Proxy - The vPro Proxy that relays a vPro connection to this machine.
Detection Date - The date/time the vPro machine was detected.
WiFi Profile - The profile selected using the Wireless page.
