Abstract

Disclosed is a system, method, and program for executing operations on a client computer transmitted from a server over a network. A server operation is received indicating actions to perform on the client. A determination is made as to whether the requested operation is permitted according to a set of rules. The requested operation is executed on the client if there is no rule that prohibits the requested operation. The server is then notified that the requested action completed or that the requested action was not executed because of at least one rule prohibiting execution of the operation.
