Abstract: Method and system for configuration of a computer system according to security policies. The configuration of an employee's personal computer system according to the security policies of the corporate network provides for security of access to the corporate network. Configuration change instructions are generated according to the security policy and applied to the configuration of the computer system. The configuration system includes at least one computer system used to access a corporate network, a policy application module configured to determine configuration parameters of the computer system and to pass the configuration data to an instruction forming module. The computer system is configured according to the selected security policy by execution of at least one configuration change instruction. The configuration system also includes a database of security policies.

Abstract: System and methods for the association of one or more devices over a computer network. A management agent module running on a device coupled to the network is configured to communicate with a server agent module running on a management server. An association linking the management agent with the server agent is created by the management server. Associations with device users and the agents managing the devices can also be made. Associations allow network administration commands and policy controls to be issued at a user, rather than device, level.
