Abstract:
An information handling system operating an automated UEFI variable update management system may comprise a processor executing machine-readable executable code instructions of the automated UEFI variable update management system to save to a memory and execute a first plurality of UEFI variables included in a first terse executable image, to receive a second terse executable image including a second plurality of UEFI variables in a second preset order, wherein each of the first plurality of UEFI variables and the second plurality of UEFI variables including a variable value, and a variable key pointing to a variable value location in the memory, to compare the first plurality of UEFI variables to the second plurality of UEFI variables, to retrieve from the first terse executable image and store in a variable update map the first plurality of UEFI variables, to retrieve from the second terse executable image and store in the variable update map the second plurality of UEFI variables, and to store the variable update map to the memory.
