Abstract

A method for distributing a computer software package using a pre-requisite query is disclosed. A first pre-requisite query is associated with a package. Attribute information is obtained from one or more managed nodes across a computer network. The attribute information is stored on an administrative system. The first pre-requisite query is run using the attribute information on the administrative system to obtain a first result. The first result indicates whether the one or more managed nodes has the necessary attribute information for the package. The package is sent to the one or more managed nodes that have the necessary attribute information for the package.
