HP ProDesk 600G3 With AMT Provisioned No UEFI PXE Boot possible with Bios>2.06

PKalk — Fri, 08 Jun 2018 12:06:29 GMT

Hello,

We have a problem with the HP ProDesk 600G3.

With the default Bios version (version 2.06) and AMT Provisioned Everything works fine.

00.02.06 Rev.A18.3 MBJul 3, 2017

Due to Meltdown and Spectre we are updating our machines. And After the bios updates it seems that we can't use UEFi PXE boot anymore.

We have tried every bios version higher then 00.02.06 Rev. until version 2.16a released on Apr 11, 2018.

The situation stays the same.

We use one AMT Profile for all our desktop computers and only the HP ProDesk 600G3 has this problem.

Other systems: Dell Optiplex 7010 (SFF), Dell Optiplex 9020 (SFF) and Dell Optiplex 7040 (SFF) are working fine.

HP business support can't find the reason.

The only way at this moment to make UEFi PXE boot working again is to unprovisioning the AMT profile.

This keeps working until the AMT profile is automatically pushed to the system agian.

Is this a known error?

Can someone explain why this is happening and how to solve this problem?

Hello, Makaveli1976,

I reviewed Hewlett Packard documentations and I found a new driver for the Intel Management Engine (ME) Firmware Component version 11.8.50.3470. This driver update improves the security of vPRO technology.

https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-prodesk-600-g3-small-form-factor-pc/15292277

My best suggestion, update the BIOS then, update the chipset and ME drivers.
