System and Method for Automated Configuration of an Information Handling System
First Claim
1. A method for automated configuration of a plurality of information handling systems, each information handling system including a local computer-readable medium having the same set of uninstalled data images stored thereon, the method comprising:
- receiving at a particular one of the information handling systems identifying information from a source local to the particular information handling system, the identifying information associated with a particular profile;
automatically determining a subset of data images corresponding to the identifying information received from the local source, the subset of data images comprising one or more data images from the set of uninstalled data images; and
installing the determined subset of data images from the set of data images stored on the local computer-readable medium of the particular information handling system.

Abstract
A system and method for automated deployment of an information handling system are disclosed. A method for managing the deployment of an information handling system may include executing a deployment application on an information handling system, the deployment application including one or more tasks associated with the deployment of the information handling system. The method may further include automatically determining for a particular task whether an execution time for the particular task is within a predetermined range of execution times. The method may further include automatically performing an error-handling task in response to determining that the execution time for the particular task is not within the predetermined range of execution times.

9. A method for automated configuration of an information handling system, comprising:
-
storing a set of uninstalled data images on each of a plurality of information handling systems; storing a program of instructions on each of the plurality of information handling systems, the program of instructions operable to, when executed; receive at a particular one of the information handling systems identifying information from a source local to the particular information handling system, the identifying information associated with a particular profile; automatically determine a subset of data images corresponding to the identifying information received from the local source, the subset of data images comprising one or more data images from the set of uninstalled data images; and install the determined subset of data images from the set of data images stored on the local computer-readable medium of the particular information handling system. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. An information handling system, comprising:
-
a processor; a memory communicatively coupled to the processor; and local computer-readable media communicatively coupled to the processors the computer-readable media having stored thereon; a set of installed data images; and a program of instructions executable by the processor and operable to when executed; receive at the information handling system identifying information from a source local to the information handling system, the identifying information associated with a particular profile; automatically determine a subset of data images corresponding to the identifying information received from the local source, the subset of data images comprising one or more data images from the set of uninstalled data images; and install the determined subset of data images from the set of data images stored on the local computer-readable media of the information handling system. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
