This video demonstrates the potential of Intel vPro Technology using a distributable ISO file (Remote Drive Share is available at http://communities.intel.com/docs/DOC-4785). The demonstration shows the ability to read\write\change the remote file system. The distributable ISO includes instructions on how to incorporate NTFS-3G or similar utilities for accessing NTFS partitions. If you have experienced situations such as the following with a remote client PC, this demonstration may be interest:
The demonstration also shows an intriguing use of Serial-over-LAN. Notice in the demonstration that the user's screen provides only a prompt about the remote drive share, while the terminal window within the Symantec Management Platform provides information on the available partitions along with instructions on how to map a drive. Security is handled via appropriate authentication\authentication to the Intel vPro Technology, access to the Symantec Management Platform or other management tools in the environment, and by the unique system name and password for each session of the remote drive share use case.
