connect to computer over network

[kinghat]

i was wondering if there was a way to connect to a server on my network and see all of the boot processes and what not... i know that remote desktop will not let you do this, but i dont want to connect a monitor and mouse just to setup a couple drive in raid on it.. i obv dont have a clue how to go about that but im sure its possible.. the computer i am connecting to runs win 7 and my computer i am connecting from also runs win 7.. any help would be awesome...

2 options to see the bios and boot screen..

kvm over IP (belkin etc....)

or if the Intel board supports IPMI

this is my board:

not sure what IPMI is or if my board has it..

Unfortunately IPMI is a feature mainly on server boards.....yours doesn't seem to have it.

so I'm afraid a KVM over IP switch is probably the best solution....but they aren't cheap. :(

Also maybe Radmin Remote control software might be the cheapest option....using Intel AMT/vPro Technology.

here's a Radmin demo showing how you can remotely boot into the bios over the network, etc..

is Intel AMT just software based? or does it require additional hardware?
