Re: KVM user consent question

Hey Samuel,

The reason you keep getting the 6 digit user consent prompt is because your vPro computer is configured in what's called Client Control Mode. In this mode the user consent prompt is mandatory. An easy fix for this is to provision your vPro computer with a USB drive. Using USB provisioning will configure the vPro computer into what's called Admin Control Mode.

Configure AMT via USB drive

1. Plug in a USB drive. Note: Your USB drive is formatted during this process so make sure you've backed up any data you want to keep.
2. Right-Click ACUWizard.exe and select Run as administrator.
3. Click Configure/Unconfigure this System.
4. Select Unconfigure.
5. Click Next.
6. Select Unconfigure this system using admin password.
7. Type in your admin password and click Unconfigure.
8. Click Back.
9. Click Back.
10. Click Create Settings to Configure Multiple Systems.
11. Click the Tools drop down menu.
12. Click Prepare a USB Key for Manual Configuration...
13. Select either Mobile Systems or Desktop Systems depending on which type of systems will be configured.
14. For compatibility reasons keep All systems are Intel AMT 6.0 and higher selected.
15. The default AMT password is admin
16. Click OK.
17. Click Yes.
18. This will create a Setup.bin file on the USB drive.
19. Plug this USB drive into the vPro computer you want to provision.
20. Either change the boot order to boot the USB drive first, or use the one time boot to select the USB drive.
21. There will be a prompt to Continue with Auto Provisioning (Y/N) ?
22. Hit Y
23. After the computer has been provisioned, unplug the USB drive and reboot the computer.
24. Enter in the vPro computer’s information
    1. AMT Server: IP address of the computer you are trying to connect to
    2. Encryption: None
    3. Connection Mode: Intel(r) AMT KVM
25. Click Connect

That should do it...
