8. One or more computer readable media having stored thereon a plurality of instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device manager, causes the one or more processors to perform acts comprising:
-
identifying a device to be serviced;
checking whether the device manager is a desired manager for the device;
if the device manager is the desired manager for the device, then servicing the device; and
if the device manager is not the desired manager for the device, then checking whether a trigger condition is satisfied and servicing the device if the trigger condition is satisfied. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. One or more computer readable media having stored thereon a plurality of instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing device, causes the one or more processors to perform acts comprising:
-
receiving, from a device manager, a request for an identification of one or more devices to be serviced by the device manager;
identifying, to the device manager, one or more devices for which the device manager is the desired manager;
for a plurality of additional devices for which the device manager is not the desired manager, checking whether a trigger condition is satisfied; and
for each device for which the device manager is not the desired manager and for which the trigger condition is satisfied, identifying the device to the device manager. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
