A provisioning server can provide and utilize a diagnostic tool to test and interrogate hardware on target machines and to collect data from the hardware. The diagnostic tool can operate on the target machine independently of software already installed on the target machine. The diagnostic tool can interrogate hardware of the target machine and collect data from the hardware of the target machine. The provisioning server can select the diagnostic tool from a set of pre-generated diagnostic tools or generate a custom diagnostic tool tailored to a specific target machine. The provisioning server can interact directly with the diagnostic tool or interact with the diagnostic tool utilizing a network management server. Once data is collected, the provisioning server can be configured to store the collected data and/or output the data to other parties or systems.
