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.
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.

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.
