Touchless provisioning of information handling systems

A disclosed touchless provisioning method configures a baseboard management controller (BMC) of a bare metal server to include or support two or more network services for retrieving a configuration profile locator (CPL) identifying a network-accessible configuration file containing a server configuration profile (SCP). At least one of the network services may be invoked to retrieve the CPL and pass the CPL to a provisioning agent process configured to access the configuration file and configure the system in accordance with the SCP. The server may require a static IP address and the two or more network services may include at least one network service, such as a multicast domain name service (mDNS), suitable for use in conjunction with a static IP address system and at least one network service, such as a DHCP service, suitable for use in conjunction with servers that do not require a static IP address.
