1. A method of managing configurations of computing devices to improve performance of the computing devices, comprising:

  • receiving, by a generation module executing on a device management server, for a computing device, a geographic site location selected from a plurality of locations in a hierarchical geographic organization data structure, the geographic site location different from a location of the device management server;

    identifying, by the generation module, a network address of the device management server that is different from the geographic site location for the computing device;

    combining, by the generation module, the network address of the device management server with the geographic site location that is different from the location of the device management server;

    selecting, by the generation module, a configuration from a plurality of configurations based on a combination of the geographic site location and the network address of the device management server;

    generating, by the generation module, an optical representation of the configuration selected based on the combination of the geographic site location and the network address of the device management server;

    providing, by an interface module executing on the device management server, to the computing device, the optical representation of the configuration to cause the computing device to generate and send, to the device management server, a communication corresponding to the configuration;

    receiving, by the interface module, from the computing device, the communication corresponding to the configuration; and

    transmitting, by the device management server responsive to receiving the communication from the computing device, the configuration corresponding to the optical representation selected based on the combination of the geographic site location and the network address to cause the computing device to update a stored configuration on the computing device with the configuration.
