  • Patent number: 10904294
    Abstract: This disclosure facilitates managing lost devices. In some embodiments, a system receives a first device type from a first agent on a first device, and a different second device type from a second agent on a second device. The system receives a first group associated with the first device and a different second group associated with the second device. The system determines that the first device and the second device are lost and accesses a database storing first and second configuration classes associated with the first and second devices, respectively. The system creates first and second device-dependent classes based on the first and second device types and the first and second configuration classes, respectively. The system melds the first device-dependent class into a first melded profile and the second device-dependent class into a second melded profile, using the respective groups, and applies the melded profiles to the corresponding device.

  • Patent number: 9240971
    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.

  • Patent number: 9055091
    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.

  • Patent number: 9015224
    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.
