1. A managed asset physical location identification system, comprising:
- a network;
a managed asset that is coupled to the network and that is operable, in response to detecting an event associated with the managed asset, to send an event notification over the network, wherein the event notification includes each of a description of the event, managed asset identification data that includes a unique identity of the managed asset, and managed asset physical location data that includes the physical location of the managed asset; and
a locator system that is coupled to the network and that is operable to;
receive the event notification;
determine a physical location of the managed asset using the managed asset physical location data; and
display the description of the event, the unique identity of the managed asset, and the physical location of the managed asset.

Abstract
A managed asset physical location identification system includes a network. A managed asset is coupled to the network. The managed asset is operable, in response to detecting an event in the managed asset, to send an event notification that is associated with the event over the network. A locator system is coupled to the network. The located system is operable to receive the event notification, determine a physical location of the managed asset using the event notification, and display the event notification and the physical location of the managed asset.

8. A networked system, comprising:
-
a network; a plurality of managed information handling systems (IHSs) coupled to the network, wherein each of the plurality of IHSs is operable to detect an event associated with that IHS and, in response, send an event notification over the network, wherein the event notification includes each of a description of the event associated with that IHS, IHS identification data that includes a unique identity of that IHS, and IHS physical location data that includes the physical location of that IHS; and a locator system that is coupled to the network and that is operable to; receive an event notification from a first IHS of the plurality of IHSs, wherein the event notification includes a description of an event that occurred in the first IHS, first IHS identification data that includes a unique identity of the first IHS, and first IHS physical location data that includes the physical location of the first IHS; determine a first IHS identification using the first IHS identification data; determine a physical location of the first IHS using the first IHS physical location data; and display the description of the event that occurred in the first IHS, the identity of the first IHS, and the physical location of the first IHS. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
