Abstract
A system and method for identifying lost/stale peripheral hardware devices connected to an enterprise computer system is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for identifying lost peripheral hardware devices connected to an enterprise computer system includes initializing system memory by obtaining data structures associated with last detected connected peripheral hardware devices stored in an external database upon reboot, initiating an enterprise computer system wide scanning to obtain the detected data structures associated with current connected peripheral hardware devices during the reboot, and comparing the obtained data structures associated with the last detected connected peripheral hardware devices and the current connected peripheral hardware devices to determine whether there is any chance in system resources associated with the connected peripheral hardware devices during the reboot.
