Patent attributes
An information handling system includes a provisioning server and a server. The server includes a baseboard management controller (BMC) to determine a first hardware inventory profile for the server. The BMC provides the first hardware inventory profile to the provisioning server. The BMC stores first signed provisioning configuration content that is based on a first ownership certificate for a first owner of the server. The BMC determines a second hardware inventory profile for the server, and provides the second hardware inventory profile to the provisioning server. The BMC stores second signed provisioning configuration content that is based on a second ownership certificate for a second owner of the server. In response to an expiration of the second ownership certificate, the BMC removes the second signed provisioning configuration content, compares a current hardware inventory profile to the first hardware inventory profile, and generates a report to indicate any hardware changes.
