1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor of a management server; and
a memory operatively coupled to the processor, the processor configured to;
generate a graphic that encodes information associated with the management server, the information including at least one of an Internet Protocol (IP) address of the management server or a uniform resource locator (URL) of the management server;
provide the graphic to a compute device such that the compute device extracts the information from the graphic to associate the compute device with the management server;
receive a response from the compute device in response to the compute device extracting the information from the graphic, the response including a request associated with a device setting; and
associate, based on the response, the compute device with at least one computing policy that changes the device setting of the compute device.

Abstract
A computing device configured for sending configuration information is described. The computing device includes a processor and instructions stored in memory that is in electronic communication with the processor. The computing device obtains access information. The computing device further generates a graphic based on the access information. The computing device also receives a configuration information request associated with the graphic. Additionally, the computing device sends the configuration information.

11. A method, comprising:
-
generating, at a processor of a management server, a graphic that encodes information including at least one of a username, an Internet Protocol (IP) address of the management server or a uniform resource locator (URL) of the management server; providing, at the processor of the management server, the graphic to a managed node such that the managed node extracts the information from the graphic to associate the managed node with the management server; receiving, at the processor of the management server, a response from the managed node in response to the managed node extracting the information from the graphic; and associating, at the processor of the management server and based on the response, the managed node with at least one computing policy used to configure the managed node. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
