We in the IT Department of the organization I am working in, are really enjoying AMT as we a re located in our country's capitol and have branch offices all over the country . We have computers from DELL, HP and Lenovo and using Managability Commander Tool to start up, and above all; use VNC for KVM.
Our last badge of computers was Lenovo X1 Carbon. Lenovo could factory set a lot of bios and vPro/AMT settings, but notActivate Network Access: Yes
So my first, and I do realize a bit naive question (due to obvious security concerns) is; is it possible to override this by the use of the PowerShell module?
We also have a lot of computers we do have physical access to and it would save us a lot of work to set Activate Network Access remotely.
My second question is more straight forward. Most of our computers have not factory set a custom password for admin. Is it possible to change the password by the use of the PowerShell module?
The script under btw is working very well given the fact that Active Network Access is set:
import-module intelvpro
$cred = Get-Credential
Write-AmtCredential -Username $cred.UserName -Password $cred.Password # vpro admin and pw
read-amtcredential
New-PSDrive -Name amt -PSProvider AmtSystem -Root "\" -computername localhost -Credential $cred
Set-Item amt:\Config\KVM\AccessPointEnabled $true
Set-Item amt:\Config\KVM\ConsentRequired $false
Hopefully is it also possible to set credentials without prompting...(?)
