A server configuration management system is disclosed. The system comprises a script database storing a plurality of audit policies, a plurality of servers that each comprises an agent that executes at least a portion of one of the plurality of audit policies, and a configuration management server communicatively coupled to the script database and each agent. The configuration management server sends an audit script to a plurality of agents executing on a plurality of non-production servers of a common device group in a non-production environment, receives audit results from the plurality of agents, sends a remediate script to corresponding agents executing on non-compliant non-production servers, and responsive to a non-production server malfunctioning as a result of execution of the remediate script, creates, via a user interface, and implements an exception for a production server in the common device group in a production environment that corresponds to the non-production server.
