That's the narrative, but consulted to a lot of enterprises, and I've never once seen ME in use. Servers have hardware like HPE iLO, and desktops will use OS based agents. And failing that they'll use PXE boot and get rebuilt. The only discussion I've ever seen an Enterprise have about ME was the debate about how you deal with HPE's latest laptop security update.

And the sad part is the current LOM stuff is not better (even somewhat worse) then the stuff on Sun gear from the late 90s. Oh well.
