Systems and methods for configuring a managed device using an image
First Claim
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.

Abstract
Systems and methods of the present disclosure can facilitate managing a computing device. The computing device can be a managed device that is managed by a device management server. In some embodiments, the system includes a generation module and an interface module. The generation module may be configured to receive a site location for the computing device, identify an address of the device management server, and generate an optical representation of a configuration based on the site location and the address. The interface module may be configured to provide the optical representation to the computing device and receive a communication from the computing device, the communication corresponding to the configuration.
