Abstract: Systems and methods for distributed orchestration using delegate workspaces are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, a remote orchestrator with respect to a workspace executed by a client Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the remote orchestrator to: communicate with a database of delegate workspaces, each delegate workspace instantiated by a respective one of a plurality of edge IHSs; and assign a management task with respect to a client IHS's workspace to a delegate workspace executed by a selected edge IHS, where the delegate workspace is selected, at least in part, based upon information stored in the database.

Abstract: System and method are provided for assigning a service identifier for use by an IHS (Information Handling System), where a new service identifier may be assigned to the IHS due to replacement of hardware of the IHS. The IHS is provisioned with an inventory certificate that identifies hardware components of the IHS, including a service identifier for the IHS. Support provided for the IHS is tracked based on this service identifier. A hardware component of the IHS is removed, where the service identifier is assigned to this removed hardware component. A replacement hardware component is installed in the IHS. An updated inventory certificate is generated that assigns a new service identifier to the replacement hardware component installed in the IHS. The IHS is provisioned with the updated inventory certificate that specifies the new service identifier. Support provided for the IHS is now tracked based on the new service identifier.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides various embodiments of information handling systems and related methods to generate a cryptographic key, which may be used to cryptographically verify information handling system (IHS) platform components and track events associated with the platform components. In the embodiments disclosed herein, a wide variety of platform-related information may be collected from a plurality of system platform components and embedded into a single cryptographic key. Once a cryptographic key is generated, it may be decoded and/or compared with cryptographic key(s) subsequently generated by the IHS to securely verify the system platform components, determine if changes have been made to the system platform components, facilitate system diagnostics and/or perform additional functions.

Abstract: Embodiments of systems and computer implemented methods are provided to transfer software licenses and entitlements associated with a user account from a first information handling system (IHS) to a second IHS. A computer implemented method in accordance with the present disclosure may generally include executing an entitlement management service to reassign the software licenses and entitlements associated with the user account to the second IHS, executing at least one local validation service on the second IHS to validate the second IHS and the user's workspace, and if the second IHS and the user's workspace is successfully validated by the at least one local validation service, executing one or more cloud-based orchestration services to verify the user account, determine which software licenses and entitlements are associated with the user account, and acquire and validate the software licenses and entitlements before transferring the software licenses and entitlements to the second IHS.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods are provided to bind a system identifier that uniquely identifies an information handling system (IHS) to the system platform, so that the identity of the IHS can be cryptographically verified. More specifically, the present disclosure provides methods to bind a unique system identifier to an IHS platform, and methods to cryptographically verify the identity of the IHS using the unique system identifier and a plurality of keys generated and stored with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) of the IHS. Systems are provided herein to perform such methods. As such, the systems and methods disclosed herein enable system identity to be irrefutably verified, thereby preventing theft and misuse of system identity.

Abstract: Systems and methods for modernizing workspace and hardware lifecycle management in an enterprise productivity ecosystem are described. In some embodiments, a client Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory, the memory having program instructions that, upon execution by the processor, cause the client IHS to: receive, from a workspace orchestration service, one or more files or policies configured to enable the client IHS to instantiate a first workspace based upon a first workspace definition; allow a user to execute a non-vetted application in the first workspace; determine that the first workspace is compromised; and receive, in response to the determination, from the workspace orchestration service, one or more other files or policies configured to enable the client IHS to instantiate a second workspace based upon a second workspace definition, where the second workspace definition allows execution of a vetted application corresponding to the non-vetted application.

Abstract: Systems and methods for securely deploying a collective workspace across multiple local management agents are described. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the IHS to: receive, at a workspace orchestration service from a first local management agent, first context information and a first split key; receive, at the workspace orchestration service from a second local management agent, second context information and a second split key; determining, by the workspace orchestration service, that the first and second context information match a collaborative workspace policy; in response to the determination, authenticate the first and second split keys; and in response to the authentication, transmit a collaborative workspace definition to the first and second local management agents.

Abstract: Systems and methods for workspace deployment using a secondary trusted device are described. In some embodiments, a first Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the first IHS to: establish a first connection with a second IHS, where the second IHS is configured to establish a second connection with a workspace orchestration service, and where the workspace orchestration service is configured to: receive device identification information of the first IHS from the second IHS; and authenticate the device identification information against a database provided by a manufacturer of the first IHS; and in response to a successful authentication, establish a third connection with the workspace orchestration service.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that may be implemented by services executing on one or more remote servers and on an endpoint information handling system to remotely erase (i.e., clear or remove) biometric fingerprint credential data that is previously stored on non-volatile memory of a discrete “match-on chip” fingerprint reader (MOFR) of the endpoint information handling system, as well as to erase separate non-biometric OS user identifier (ID) fingerprint enrollment information stored on separate system non-volatile memory of the endpoint information handling system.
