SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT SERVICES FROM A PROVISIONING SERVER
First Claim
1. A method of provisioning in a software provisioning environment, comprising:
- maintaining at least one management template, wherein the at least one management template is associated with at least one provisioning object;
identifying at least one target machine that received provisioning processes based on the at least one provisioning object; and
generating at least one configuration file based on the at least one management template associated with the at least one provisioning object, wherein the at least one configuration file enables the at least one target machine to operate according to the at least one management template.

Abstract
A provisioning server can perform configuration management services on target machines served by the provisioning server. The provisioning server can maintain a set of management templates. The set of management templates can be utilized to generate management configuration files for target machines. The management configuration files, generated from the management templates, can cause the target machines to operate according to a defined role (e.g. web server, client device, application server, etc.). To enable configuration management services, the provisioning server can associate the management templates with provisioning objects (e.g. profiles, provisioning templates, system records, etc.).
