Method for managing plurality of target computers using a management computer
First Claim
1. A method for managing a plurality of target computers using a management computer, comprising:
- storing a parameter for a selected target computer in a memory associated with the management computer;
updating the parameter at the management computer with a replacement value;
transmitting the replacement value to the selected target computer; and
transmitting a command from the management computer to the selected target computer to initiate execution at the selected target computer of a resident program stored at the selected target computer, wherein the resident program uses the replacement value.

Abstract
Exemplary embodiments are related to systems and methods for managing a plurality of target computers using a management computer. An exemplary method includes storing parameters for target computers in a memory associated with the management computer. The method includes updating at least one of the parameters at the management computer with a replacement value, and transmitting the replacement value to a selected one of the target computers. The method also includes transmitting a command from the management computer to a selected one of the target computers to initiate execution at the selected target computer of a resident program stored at the selected target computer, where the resident program uses the replacement value.
