Not sure if it still is, but it used to be possible to order OptiPlex machines (and others too, I assume) with the ME/AMT in various states, including completely disabled. If you have an older OptiPlex, pull the side off and there will/might be a white sticker with a single digit number on it. The number refers to the state of the ME/AMT. For example, I have an older OptiPlex 780 that has a "3" which means the ME/AMT is completely disabled. I've checked every way I know how and it isn't "visible" at all. Apparently the end user does have some limited ability to change the status, though. I'll see if I can dig up the info on this. Edit: Not really what I was looking for but here [0] is a thread on Dell's support forum that discusses this and how to change the state, etc., by accessing the MEBx on system start (by hitting CTRL-P).
