Intel® vPro™ and Intel® Centrino® Pro Processor Technology Quick Start Guide

4.The console will display the values for manual entry into the Intel vPro machine, or there is an option to export/import (at the bottom of the dialogue box) the security keys to a USB thumb drive (filename setup.bin) for one-touch configuration.

If you want to use a USB thumb drive to easily transfer the Intel MEBx password and PID-PPS security key information to the Intel vPro clients, continue to Step 4C-3, Configure Intel vPro Clients Using a USB Thumb Drive. To manually configure the clients, go to Step 4C- 3a, Manually Configuring the Intel vPro Clients.

Step 4C-3: Configure Intel vPro Clients Using a USB Thumb Drive: In this method, the new password and the PID/PPS keys are exported from the management console onto a USB thumb drive.

1.In LANDesk, select the option to export the PID-PPS security keys to a setup.bin file, then copy the setup.bin file to a USB thumb drive.

2.Once you have exported the setup.bin file to a USB thumb drive, insert the USB drive into each Intel vPro client system during boot up and the information is automatically transferred to the Intel ME.

3.Once the authentication information is transferred, restart the system and let it boot to Windows. The Intel vPro client will automatically authenticate itself with the provisioning server and provisioning will occur.

4.Repeat for each Intel vPro client system.

Note: You can only use the USB key to transfer the PID/PPS information to the Intel MEBx one time per client system. A bit is set on the client once the transfer has been made and the client will not allow an additional transfer to occur unless the bit is reset. To reset this bit, you would need to clear the client Intel Management Engine by performing a Full Un-Provision in the Intel MEBx (reset to factory defaults).

USB Thumb Drive Notes: You should use a USB 2.0 thumb drive and 2 GB or less. Format the USB drive in FAT 16 through any Windows client. This must be in FAT 16, not FAT 32. The file (setup.bin) that is created by the export function noted above MUST be the first file on the drive, to function properly. Once this file is on the drive, other files can then be added as needed.

You may need to try several USB drives to find one that works, and you may need to try both the front and back USB ports on the client system. Refer to the USB Provisioning Matrix for a list of tested drives: http://communities.intel.com/docs/DOC-1247#USB2

Once you have configured your clients using the USB thumb drive, skip to Step 5: Discover Intel vPro Clients through the Management Console, on page 24.
