Abstract: Systems and methods for Internet recovery and service. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may comprise a processor and a Basic I/O System (BIOS) coupled to the processor, the BIOS having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: transmit a request to a backend server for a service Operating System (OS), where the request includes an identification (ID) of the IHS that enables the backend server to select two or more of a plurality of service OS components; receive the selected service OS components over a network; assemble the selected service OS components into the service OS; and boot the service OS.

Abstract: Systems and methods for smart diagnoses and triage of failures with identity continuity. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) includes a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: execute a Power-On Self Test (POST) routine; in response to a determination that the POST routine has failed, execute a firmware-based diagnostics routine; in response to a determination that the firmware-based diagnostics routine has failed, execute, via a service Operating System (OS), a service OS-based diagnostics routine configured to identify whether the firmware-based diagnostics failure is due to a hardware or software fault; and in response to the service OS-based diagnostics routine identifying a hardware fault or failing to remediate a software fault, obtain a user's account information and report the hardware fault or the software remediation failure.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing technical support and exporting diagnostic data. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) includes a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: identify a video failure in response to executing a Basic I/O System (BIOS)/Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) diagnostics routine prior to the booting of a main Operating System (OS), where the video failure renders the IHS incapable of providing a video interface; and in response to the identification, provide an audio interface to a user, where the audio interface enables the user to perform a troubleshooting operation in the absence of the video interface.

Abstract: Systems and methods smart diagnosis using hosted resources with intelligent altering of boot order. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: execute a first diagnostic module; identify a software or hardware malfunction as a result of the execution of the first diagnostic module; communicate the malfunction to a backend server; receive, from the backend server, an indication of a second diagnostic module to be subsequently executed by the IHS; and execute the second diagnostic module.

Abstract: Systems and methods for exporting failure and diagnostic data and securing privileges in a service Operating System (OS). In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) includes a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: identify a malfunction; store malfunction data in a predefined location; detect the coupling of an external device to the IHS; and export the malfunction data from the predefined location to the external device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing automatic system stop and boot-to-service OS for forensic analysis. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) includes a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: detect an Indicator of Compromise (IoC); send, to a server, a message including the IoC; receive, from the server, a recovery instruction; and boot into a service OS identified in the recovery instruction, wherein the service OS is distinct from a main OS included in the IHS.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing service and to computing devices. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) includes a Basic I/O System (BIOS) and a memory coupled to the BIOS, the memory including program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the IHS, cause the IHS to: determine that the IHS is operating in a degraded state; and initiate one or more support, diagnostics, or remediation operations in response to the determination.

Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring a primary Operating System (OS) and/or migrating data using an OS hypervisor. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) includes a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: provide an Operating System (OS) hypervisor configured to enable operation of a primary OS environment and a service OS environment concurrently, wherein the primary and service OS environments are distinct from each other; and allow the service OS, via the OS hypervisor, to monitor a state of the primary OS while forbidding the primary OS from monitoring a state of the service OS.
