Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods support transfer of an Information Handling System (IHS) from a first individual to a second individual. Upon notification of the transfer of the IHS, a credential of the second individual is received and an inventory is generated of detected hardware of the IHS. The generated hardware inventory is signed using the credential received from the second individual and the signed hardware inventory is published, thus establishing the inventory at the time the transfer is initiated. Upon actual transfer of the IHS to the second individual, another inventory of detected IHS hardware is generated and the published hardware inventory signed using the credential of the second individual is retrieved. The inventory of detected IHS hardware generated by the second individual is compared against the signed hardware inventory generated at the time the transfer was initiated in order to identify any discrepancies in the IHS hardware.
