  • System and method for remediating a computer
    Patent number: 6789215
    Abstract: A system and method for remediating a computer includes a diagnostics manager configured to analyze a computer to determine the configuration of the computer and to determine software packages that can be installed, upgraded, or deleted according to a remediation configuration. A software package manager is configured to install or upgrade software packages. A script manager is configured to monitor software packages being installed and to transmit commands to the software packages when a prompt is detected. The commands are required to complete the installation or upgrade of the software packages. A process monitoring manager monitors the progress of the remediation processes and reports the process to a log file or to a display. An optional user interface can be generated to display information relating to the remediation processes and to enable selection of options for the remediation processes.
