A system can receive an untrusted onboard announcement message from a remote computer, wherein the untrusted onboard announcement message comprises first data that identifies the remote computer and second data that indicates a current configuration of the remote computer. The system can identify a stored indication of an authorized configuration of the remote computer based on the data that identifies the remote computer. The system can determine that there is a mismatch between the authorized configuration of the remote computer and the current configuration of the remote computer. The system can determine a trust metrics evaluation score for the remote computer based on a type of hardware component change between the authorized configuration of the remote computer and the current configuration of the remote computer. The system can, in response to determining that the trust metrics evaluation score is greater than a threshold value, onboard the remote computer.
