System and method for managing the deployment of an information handling system
First Claim
1. A method for managing the deployment of an information handling system, comprising:
- 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;
automatically determining for a particular task whether an execution time for the particular task is within a predetermined range of execution times;
automatically displaying a notification regarding whether the execution time for the task is within a predetermined range of execution times associated with the task;
in response to determining that the execution time for the particular task is not within the predetermined range of execution times, automatically performing an error-handling task;
determining for the particular task whether the execution time for the particular task is less than an expected execution time;
displaying a low-priority notification if the execution time for the particular task is less than the expected execution time;
displaying a medium-priority notification if the execution time for the particular task is more than the expected execution time and within the predetermined range of execution times; and
displaying a high-priority notification if the execution time for the particular task is not within the predetermined range of execution times.

8. A method for remotely managing the deployment of a plurality of information handling systems, comprising:
-
on each of the plurality of information handling systems, executing a deployment application including one or more tasks associated with the deployment of the information handling system; communicating an execution status of the one or more tasks from each of the information handling systems to a management station remote from the information handling systems such that the execution status of the at least one task is displayed at the remote management station, wherein displaying the execution status of the at least one task comprises; displaying a low-priority notification if an execution time for the at least one task is less than an expected execution time; displaying a medium-priority notification if the execution time for the at least one task is more than the expected execution time and within a predetermined range of execution times; and displaying a high-priority notification if the execution time for the at least one task is not within the predetermined range of execution times. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)

12. A system for remotely managing the deployment of one or more information handling systems, comprising:
-
a management station; and a plurality of information handling systems communicatively coupled to the management station and remotely located from the management station; wherein; each of the plurality of information handling systems is configured to; execute a deployment application including one or more tasks associated with the deployment of the information handling system; and communicate an execution status of the one or more tasks from the information handling system to the management station;
the management station is configured to display the execution status of tasks associated with the one or more information handling systems, wherein displaying the execution status of the at least one task comprises;displaying a low-priority notification at the management station for each information handling system in which all tasks have an associated execution time less than an expected execution time and within a predetermined range of execution times; displaying a medium-priority notification at the management station for each information handling system in which at least one task has an associated execution time more than the expected execution time and all tasks have an associated execution time within the predetermined range of execution times; and displaying a high-priority notification at the management station for each information handling system in which all tasks have an associated execution time not within the predetermined range of execution times. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
