7050, does not boot from AMT USB thumb drive
I have a USB thumb drive that was configured using the Intel AMT Configuration Utility. An Optiplex 9020 will automatically boot from this device, and apply the AMT configuration. We are replacing the 9020's with Optiplex 7050's, and these machines will not boot from the same thumb drive. The AMT/VPRO number inside the 7050's case lid is "1", showing that we did purchase these machines with AMT/VPRO enabled. I'm guessing there must be a BIOS settings that allows this to happen, but I have no idea what that setting might be. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

I went wading through BIOS, a setting at a time, and found the setting that controls this function. Go to Manageability, (10th Setting in the list from the top), then USB Provision, and add a check mark to Enable USB Provision.
That's it.
Reboot with the AMT provisioning USB thumb drive in one of the USB ports, and you are off and running.

what if bios doesn't support usb flash drive? I have the Asus M3N-H/HDMI motherboard with Nvidia drivers, but in bios I can only change to Floppy, Hard Disk and CD/DVD. I would probably just use a dvd reader, but I don't have one. Is it possible to update my bios from within Windows? I have 2 hard disks, so I can reinstall Windows from one disk to another while Windows is running, but the problem is that my current primary hard disk is allmost full and contains some necessary files, so I was hoping that I could use a flash drive as a bootable

I had to use the rear USB's, even though the front USB's seem to be connected! 2 are USB 2.0 and 1 is USBZ 3.0. on the front.
