Abstract
In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, methods, and/or processes may create a task configured to configure an out-of-band system of an unconfigured information handling system and discover configured information handling systems and unconfigured information handling systems that include respective out-of-band systems operable to perform the task independently of respective main processors. The one or more systems, methods, and/or processes may provide, via a network, the task to the respective out-of-band systems of the unconfigured information handling systems. In one or more embodiments, the one or more systems, methods, and/or processes may create another task configured to unconfigure the out-of-band system that was configured via the task configured to configure the out-of-band systems and may provide, via the network, the other task to at least one information handling system that was provided the task configured to configure the out-of-band system.
