Abstract
A system and method for providing an image to an information handling system is disclosed. A method for delivering an image may include booting an information handling system with a provisioning operating system downloaded via a network into a memory of the information handling system. The method may also include calculating, by the second provisioning OS, a fingerprint of an image stored on the information handling system. The method may additionally include determining if the fingerprint matches a previously-calculated fingerprint of the image calculated prior to delivery of the information handling system to its intended destination. The method may further include enabling the information handling system to boot from a storage resource of the information handling system in response to a determination that the fingerprint matches the previously-calculated fingerprint.
