Abstract: A system and method to automate validating media redirection in a virtual media redirection testing process. A computing device is provided for performing the test. During the test, the computing device executes an automated script to obtain, from a media storage device, a media file to be redirected, and then calculate a first checksum value for the media file being obtained. The computing device then executes a redirection module to perform the virtual media redirection process for the media file, and copy the media file to a local path of the computing device. Once the media file is redirected, the automated script calculates a second checksum value for the media file at the local path of the computing device. Thus, the media file may be validated by matching the two checksum values, and the redirection process is determined to be successful when the checksum values match.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relates to systems and methods for locking a display device of a host computer remotely using a management controller, and providing a banner notification on the locked display device. The system includes a computing device as the host computer, which has a display device, and a management controller. When the management controller receives a locking command, the management controller, in response to the locking command, performs the following operations: generating a locking instruction, and sending the locking instruction to the computing device to lock the display device; and generating a message display instruction including a message to be displayed, and sending the message display instruction to the display device of the computing device, in order to display the message on the display device. Thus, a local user at the computing device may be notified by the message that the display device is locked.
