Abstract
A system and method for managing a multiple server computer system on a computer network. The system includes a central management server and one or more remote nodes connected to the central management server. A distributed task facility assigns and monitors system management tasks on the remote nodes. An agent running on each of the remote nodes executes system management tasks and initiates contact with the central management server to report the status of the agent and the remote node on which it is running.
