How do I access a NUC BIOS in a remote session

MSStateDog — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 21:41:18 GMT

I have the NUC7i5DNKPC at home. It's headless and a hassle to get out and connect to keyboard/monitor.

I need to change After Power Failure to Power On in the BIOS but want to do it remotely. I'm currently using TeamViewer.

Can you offer advice, please? Thanks.

Hi MSSateDog,

The available Intel tool are Intel EMA software for ACM but a Management tool is required. And vFS, without a centralized management tool. It allows to restart, turn ON, reset OS and reset to BIOS with no video output with user consent (pin code) is provided.

Thanks & Regards

Thanks. Apparently, my Intel account has to be associated with vPro Fleet Services.

I'm just a home user, not an enterprise.

Hello Msstatedog,

Thank you for your response.

As you mentioned that you are a home user rather than an enterprise customer, and if you are managing only one or two endpoints, you may consider using an open‑source remote management tool called MeshCentral, available at:

https://www.meshcommander.com/meshcentral2

Please note that MeshCentral is an open‑source solution, and as such, Intel does not provide official support for this tool.

If you have any questions related specifically to Intel vPro or AMT functionality, please feel free to let us know.

Best regards,
