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.

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.
