Abstract
Methods and systems for managing operations of a data processing system are disclosed. To manage operations of the data processing system, a management controller of the data processing system may provide location data for the data processing system to a server via an out-of-band communication channel to identify whether the data processing system is being used for unauthorized tracking purposes. The management controller may then obtain an unauthorized tracking purpose analysis outcome determination via an out-of-band communication channel. If the unauthorized tracking purpose analysis outcome determination indicates that the data processing system is being used to perform unauthorized tracking, an action set may be performed to update an existing operating state of the data processing system to limit an ability of the data processing system to be used to perform the unauthorized tracking.
