Abstract
A method for managing operating system deployment failure includes, with an operating system deployment server, running an operating system deployment process that comprises running a progressive hardware discovery process of a target machine to which an operating system is deployed, the discovery process to capture inventory information related to the target machine, monitoring the operating system deployment to detect failure in a pre-operating system environment running on the target machine for a predefined period of time, and executing a remediation action in response to generation of a failure code during the period of time, the remediation action related to a Basic Input Output System (BIOS) of the target machine.
