  • Patent number: 10372939
    Abstract: In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, methods, and/or processes may create a task configured to configure an out-of-band system of an unconfigured information handling system and discover configured information handling systems and unconfigured information handling systems that include respective out-of-band systems operable to perform the task independently of respective main processors. The one or more systems, methods, and/or processes may provide, via a network, the task to the respective out-of-band systems of the unconfigured information handling systems. In one or more embodiments, the one or more systems, methods, and/or processes may create another task configured to unconfigure the out-of-band system that was configured via the task configured to configure the out-of-band systems and may provide, via the network, the other task to at least one information handling system that was provided the task configured to configure the out-of-band system.

  • Publication number: 20190236278
    Abstract: A secure boot violation system includes a BIOS with an authenticated variables storage storing at least one authorization key and at least one signatures database. The BIOS receives a first policy action entry for association with a first signature in the at least one signatures database, determines that the first policy action entry is signed with the at least one authorization key and, in response, associates the first policy action entry with the first signature in the at least one signatures database. The BIOS then determines, during a boot process and subsequent to the associating the first policy action entry with the first signature, that a first secure boot violation has occurred based on the first signature in the at least one signatures database. In response to determining that the first secure boot violation has occurred, the BIOS performs a first policy action defined by the first policy action entry.
