System and method to manage a server configuration profile of an information handling system in a data center

A method, comprising:

• determining, by an information handling system, to change a first configuration setting for the information handling system;
• receiving, by the information handling system, a first remediation policy related to the first configuration setting from a configuration management system in response to determining to change the first configuration setting;
• determining from the first remediation policy that the change to the first configuration setting is dependent upon a second configuration change to a device, the device being separate from the information handling system;
• determine whether the configuration change to the device is necessary prior to changing the first configuration setting, concurrently with changing the first configuration setting, or prior to a next system boot of the information handling system;
• changing the first configuration setting and a second configuration setting of the device concurrently when the configuration change to the device is necessary concurrently with changing the first configuration setting;
• determining to change a second configuration setting for the information handling system;
• receiving a second remediation policy related to the second configuration setting from the configuration management system in response to determining to change the second configuration setting;
• determining from the second remediation policy that the change to the second configuration setting does not necessitate the configuration change to the device;
• and
• changing the second configuration setting in response to determining that the change to the second configuration setting does not necessitate the configuration change to the device.

An information handling system, comprising:

• a configuration management system;
• and
• a first processing device configured to:
• determine to change a first configuration setting for the information handling system;
• receive a first remediation policy related to the first configuration setting from a configuration management system in response to determining to change the first configuration setting;
• determine from the first remediation policy that the change to the first configuration setting necessitates a configuration change to a second processing device prior to changing the first configuration setting, the device being separate from the information handling system;
• change the first configuration setting in response to a first indication that a second configuration setting of the device has been changed;
• determine to change a second configuration setting for the information handling system;
• receive a second remediation policy related to the second configuration setting from the configuration management system in response to determining to change the second configuration setting;
• determine from the second remediation policy that the change to the second configuration setting does not necessitate the configuration change to the device;
• and
• change the second configuration setting in response to determining that the change to the second configuration setting does not necessitate the configuration change to the device.
