An information handling system includes a memory and a processor that determines to change a configuration setting for the information handling system and receives a remediation policy related to the configuration setting from a configuration management system in response to determining to change the configuration setting. The processor further determines from the first remediation policy that the change to the first configuration setting necessitates a configuration change to a device prior to changing the first configuration setting and changes the first configuration setting in response to a first indication that the second configuration setting of the device has been changed. The device is separate from the information handling system.
