Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods of managing remote devices. The system can include a server with memory, a detection module, and a collection module. The memory can store a management information base (MIB) having a hierarchical tree of object identifiers and corresponding object values. The detection module can query devices and receive a first object identifier and its first object value, which can vary from those in the MIB; and use patterns to match the first object identifier and object value; and generate an identification of the device from the matches. The collection module can use the identification to select a collection template, which can indicate a subtree of the MIB and a collection pattern; traverse the subtree and identify a second object identifier that matches the collection pattern, and its second object value; and associate the second object value with the first object value.

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.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure facilitate synchronizing data between a device management system and ticketing systems. In some embodiments, the system includes an update module, a mapping module, and a service board selection module. The update module may be configured to update ticketing information about a ticketing ticket on the ticketing system to match device management information about a device management ticket on the device management system. The mapping module may be configured to select a ticket category for a device management ticket on the device management system responsive to the device management information about the device management ticket. The service board selection module may be configured to select a service board for a ticketing ticket on the ticketing system.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure facilitate updating the translation provided by one or more name servers from symbolic names to network addresses. In some embodiments, the system includes one or more remote devices, a management server, a configuration module, a detection module, and/or an update module. The management server may be configured to monitor and manage the remote device, which may be provided with network addresses by one or more address provisioning servers. Responsive to the detection module detecting a change in the network address of a remote device, the update module may update one or more name servers using an update program that includes templates for a control file, authentication information, and/or a template obtained from the management server. The detection and update modules can execute on remote devices or on the address provisioning server, and can be installed and configured automatically by the management server.

Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods for providing access to a server by remote devices are shown. In some embodiments, the system includes a scheduling module, a connection module, and/or a timer module. The scheduling module may compute a timer period and timer offset for each remote device on the server to facilitate evenly distributing connections by remote devices and avoid exceeding the maximum bandwidth of the communication channel. The connection module may initiate a connection from each remote device to the server to retrieve the timer period and timer offset. The timer module on each remote device may be controlled by the timer period and timer offset, and trigger the initiation of the connection module. A remote device's status may be offline if the initiation of the connection falls outside a tolerance window corresponding to the timer period and timer offset.

Abstract: A system for providing management functions on remote devices includes a management module, a connection module, an execution module, a timer module, a notification module, and a response module. The management module configures management commands on a central management server. The connection module initiates a connection to the server from an agent on a remote device and retrieves commands. The execution module executes the commands on the device. The timer module controls the initiation of the connection and can be delayed by a timer offset. The notification module uses a local network to send notifications to other agents. The response module responds to the notifications. Some of the commands can modify the timer offset, and other commands can initiate the notifications.
