Hardware-level management meets cloud-native simplicity: Intel vPro now in Intune Partner portal
IT pros regularly tell us about the challenges of managing devices that go offline, crash, or become unresponsive. In a world where company devices are spread across work sites, you can’t always send a technician to help, or wait for a device to be shipped, fixed, and returned.
We're excited to announce the arrival of Intel vPro® Fleet Services to the Microsoft Intune Partner portal, bringing hardware-level remote management to your Intune workflows.
A brief history
Last year, we welcomed the Dell Management Portal to this growing ecosystem of OEM integrations, joining the HP Connect Portal announced in spring of 2023 and the Surface Management Portal.
Announcing Intel vPro integration in the Intune admin center
Intel vPro® Fleet Services can be accessed through the Intune admin center, streamlining access to these hardware-level device management capabilities for Intel vPro®-enabled devices (8th Gen Intel Core processors and newer):
- Hardware-level access. Manage devices even when they're powered off or the operating system has crashed — capabilities that traditional software-only management can't deliver.
- Secure authentication. Leverage your existing Microsoft Entra ID credentials and conditional access policies for all hardware management operations.
- Out-of-band management. Perform critical operations including:
- Remote power-on for maintenance and updates
- BIOS-level diagnostics and troubleshooting
- System recovery and re-imaging operations
- Security compliance monitoring for offline devices
Get started with Intel vPro Fleet services
IT admins can access these enterprise-grade capabilities with existing Intune licensing — no extra fees or infrastructure are required.
Intel vPro® Fleet Services will appear in the Partner portals tab in the Devices blade of the Intune admin center.
