Abstract
A method, system, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for providing a single console for managing the pre- and post-operating system operation of a computer system are provided. One system includes a management appliance that can establish a network connection to a server computer, receive remote console data from the server computer formatted using one of a multitude of remote console protocols, detect the remote console protocol utilized to format the remote console data, convert the remote console data from the detected protocol to a common protocol, and to transmit the converted remote console data to a remote console application for display. The system also includes a remote console application for receiving the converted remote console data from the management appliance, decoding the converted remote console data, and utilizing the decoded remote console data to display the remote console data in a single graphical user interface window.
