HP Touchpoint Manager after Activation
• The BIOS F10 setup menu will clearly display activation; two additional policy controls become available (Allow Activation
and Accept Commands).
• While activated, the HP Touchpoint Manager agent can securely send platform management commands while the system is
running Windows. Additionally, the device will periodically retrieve any commands for a platform lock or wipe directly from
HP Touchpoint Manager while in the sleep, hibernate, or soft off states.
• While activated, the owner can modify the following settings via UI or WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation):
o Allow Activation: Unchecking will cause the platform to immediately return to the default Not Activated state
and will prevent subsequent enrollment until this setting is re-enabled.
o Accept Commands: Unchecking this setting will result in the platform refusing to accept Always On Remote
Management commands from the HP Touchpoint Manager server. . The PC will resume accepting commands
from HP Touchpoint Manager when this setting is re-enabled. Note re-enrollment in the Touchpoint Manager
service is not required.
