GEOSPATIAL BASED MANAGEMENT OF CONFIGURATION PROFILES
First Claim
1. A computer system having a configuration management system for dynamically managing configuration profiles for a set of devices within a network, comprising:
- a boundary definition system that employs a computerized process for defining a plurality of geospatial boundaries;
a device manager that employs a computerized process for interfacing with remote agents associated with respective devices to recognize when a device has migrated into a new geospatial boundary; and
a profile management system that employs a computerized process for uploading an updated configuration profile to the remote agent in response to the device being migrated to the new geospatial boundary.
