Automatic identification of changes on servers with scheduled maintenance

An information handling system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a memory coupled to at least one of the processors;
• and
• a set of instructions stored in the memory and executed by at least one of the processors to perform actions comprising:
• determining a change needed to a selected remote system from a plurality of remote systems, the change managed at a change management system that manages changes to the plurality of remote systems;
• identifying a change management time window when the change is scheduled to be performed at the selected remote system;
• sending a monitoring request to the selected remote system, wherein the monitoring request causes the selected remote system to run a monitoring process;
• receiving, from the selected remote system, an activity notification that was identified by the monitoring process;
• and
• in response to the activity notification matching the change needed, canceling, at the change management system, the change scheduled at the selected remote system.
