topic AMT enabled docking stations in Intel vPro® Platform

AMT enabled docking stations

Tomik — Thu, 15 Oct 2020 14:29:39 GMT

Hi,

are there any Intel vPro enabled docking stations ? I've seen this question before, but was just wondering whether there's any news.
Our company has got a heavy use for it, especially remote rebuilds.
But our supplier states HP is ditching ethernet ports and will stick with USB-c instead.
So going forward, we are looking into ways of not losing this option.
I do get why its complicated, but im hoping theres someone smart enough to tackle this at some point

Thank you
Kind regards
Tom

Hello Tomik,

Thank you for joining the Intel community

Unfortunately we don't have updates about vPro compatible docking stations for vPro capable systems, (mainly laptops). What I thing it could work is to use keep using the wifi connection when the system is docked. It is possible to remote manage a system using AMT through wlan so this might be an option.

For more details about docking stations and compatible systems will be better to contact the systems OEM, HP in this case since this is pretty specific to their designs.
