Summary:A solution to optimize system boot-up time by selectively collecting device inventory for only the devices that have configuration changes and for skipping for all other devices. More specifically, the solution includes a selective driver binding operation which in certain embodiments executes within an inventory application. After the selective driver binding operation gathers data for a certain device, the selective driver binding operation gathers data for that certain device again only when data relating to the particular device has changed. Instead of binding to every device, the selective driver binding operation selectively binds only to devices with changes, thus executing system management code only for specific devices and saving boot time.
