Agentless Power Control Using Discovery Integration
vPro can issue power commands to any vPro-enabled, agentless machines discovered using the Discovery module.
After a Discovery scan has detected the vPro-enabled machines on a network, these agentless vPro machines display on the vPro Management page if the vPro > vPro Actions > Power > Show Discovered Assets checkbox is checked.
vPro-enabled machines detected by Discovery can be powered on—on demand or by schedule—and powered off on demand.
A vPro machine does not have to be "promoted to an asset" in Discovery to display on the vPro page in vPro.
The Discovery probe machine used to discovered these vPro-enabled machines serves as the vPro Proxy used to issue power commands to these same machines.
Agentless Power Control by IP Address
Independent of detection by Discovery, a power on command can be sent to a known vPro-enabled machine without an installed agent by specifying an IP address. The command is issued using the vPro > vPro Actions > Power > Power Up Agentless Machine option. Enter the following options:
Send Power Up via vPro Proxy - Since Discovery was not used to detect the vPro-enabled machine, the user must specify an agent machine on the same network as the target vPro-enabled machine to serve as the vPro Proxy machine. The vPro Proxy issues the power on command to the vPro-enabled machine.
IP address of Machine to Power On - The IP address of the target vPro machine you want to power on.
AMT User Name - The AMT username used to access the vPro machine.
AMT Password - The AMT password used to access to the vPro machine.
