Hardware Configuration Change History

Use this window to view the log file that contains the history of changes to the devices that are supported on your system since the system was rebooted or since the Web server was restarted. This window reports the following types of changes:

The green check mark indicates the addition of a device and a red X indicates the removal of a device.

Known Issue

Hard drives, RAID controllers, processors, parallel ports, serial ports, and memory devices are sometimes incorrectly listed in the Hardware Configuration Change History window as being removed and then added. If the time stamp entry for both the removal and addition are identical and you have recently upgraded the Diagnostic Service to version 2.2 or later, then the Diagnostic Service is detecting that additional information about these devices. That information has been added to the hardware/software description.
