System and Method for Management of End User Computing Devices
First Claim
1. A method for repairing a client having a damaged usage collection of files, the damaged usage collection of files comprising operating system files, application binary files, and configuration data files, at a pre-operating system boot stage of the client, comprising:
- generating a repaired usage collection of files based on a dynamic reference collection of files that was generated during a previous boot stage, wherein the dynamic reference collection of files accounts for actual dynamic uses of the operating system corresponding to the previous boot stage;
repairing the damaged usage collection of files based on the repaired usage collection of files;
whereby the repaired usage collection of files restores the operating system to an actual dynamic use of the operating system corresponding to the damaged usage collection of files before damage occurred.

Abstract
A system and method is provided for the repair of operating system and application binary files and configuration data files at pre-operating system boot stage by comparing attributes of the files against a reference collection of such files stored on a server during each reboot or restart cycle while creating and restoring a collection of dynamic operating system binary files, configuration data files, file system structures and hardware system attributes unique to the configuration and use of the system on a server for subsequent pre-operating system repair operations.
