vPro Overview

Remote activation of vPro machines is provided by vPro. This includes: power up, Windows shut down, force power down, view/change vPro password, remote control using KVM for unresponsive machines, boot to BIOS, and boot from ISO. It also supports the mounting of remote drives on vPro machines, even if the OS of the vPro machine is not functional.

A feature called vPro Proxy enables access to machines behind a firewall and the ability to bypass entering a consent code that only displays locally on the vPro machine to initiate a remote vPro session. vPro can optionally send power commands to vPro-enabled agentless machines detected by the Discovery module. It can also power on an agentless machine specified by IP address.
