Thanks. This helped me figure out what drivers were missing from a Windows Vista install I was updating

This was unnecessary and petty.
I think what he's asking for is specifics, which is the one thing everyone seems to be avoiding. In other words, lets say I want to take advantage of the remote access capabilities of the IME, exactly what software would I need to get in order to do that? More specifically, give me a name of the software package. Not just "any this or that" or other vague responses. Because lets face it, the information on intel's site speaks in abstractions. It tells you general conceptual tasks that could be accomplished, but not real roadmap as to how to accomplish those tasks. Granted, such a roadmap is probably beyond the scope of intel's focus when advertising their product, but on this forum it shouldn't be.
So how about those specifics. Let's say I want to remote manage my PC in the other room that has intel's ME on it, what software package should I go download to do it? Or if the software is already built in to Windows 7/8, how do I access that software from the start menu?
about the only thing of interest (but not for my newest desktop build... i'm OCing) is the alleged increased energy efficiency. good for a Haswell+ laptop with Win 8, it would seem.
the rest seems pointless (for my current build) unless there's a free VNC-like functionality, which it doesn't seem to indiciate there is.
edit: it appears if you have AMT (vPRO needed?), Intel has a proprietary VNC server that'll even run Out Of Band. one negative is that it enables/allows Protected Audio/Video Pathway to be used.
VNC would have been nice, tho the need for what sounds like a paid client doesn't. however, i only have a Haswell Pentium

per Wikipedia, "VNC Viewer Plus" can connect to what sounds like a free but proprietary VNC server built into the software. not sure how fast/color accurate it is, tho.
yeah, the lack of specifics was annoying. and a quick google search wasn't of much help, either. Intel's top result only referred to what sounded like something else ("Intel® System Management Software is a set of management applications for Intel® Server Products that...")
I've never installed the driver for this and I'm all good and stable.

Here is the simple reason Intel MEI is offered.
That intel vPro sticker on the front of the PC, needed to help sell the computer.
It was installed as a Dell download, one of 3 chipset drivers, named Intel AMT HECI
The huge unwanted program is actually a 2MB download for 32-bit, 64-bit Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7.
I could set up Remote Management between my P4 server and C2D desktop, just to use one monitor for both.

Interesting thread here. A lot of dancing around and not a lot of information.
Here is all you should really need to know about this. I will let you find out how to use search engines to find the software for yourselves.
Intel® AMT (Active Management Technology) is a remote control technology, which is integrated into the hardware component of PC based on Intel® vPro™ platform. Traditional remote control solutions could control a computer only if the computer's operating system was running and configured. Intel® AMT (Active Management Technology) removes this limitation and allows the control of a remote computer that is turned off, has no operating system installed or if its operating system hangs. Such functionality is provided by a special add-on processor on the motherboard that can handle incoming network requests for many useful tasks. Even if the computer is turned off, the add-on processor will work on stand-by power provided the computer's power cord is plugged in.
Really simple. You can remote connect to a computer even if it doesn´t have an OS or can even be turned off. Then you can configure and install the OS and set the computer up for use without getting out of your chair. The target computer can be in the next room on the local LAN or half way around the world.
Have fun searching.
