  • Patent number: 9176722
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for installing web management software on an entity server by communicating requests to entity servers for the purpose of executing instruction on the entity servers. As an example, the system receives installation parameters comprising hardware, software, and network information associated with an entity server and based on these installation parameters, generates a list of commands to install web management software on an entity server, wherein each command is executable by the entity server for performing a function to install the web management software on the entity server. The system initiates a server communication session with the entity server, and for each command in the list of commands, communicates a request comprising the command to be executed by the entity server, wherein the requests are sent in a selected order and at selected times to install web management software on the entity server.
