Examples provided relate to methods and apparatus for managing the expiration and execution of commands sent from a remote system having administration functions to an agent residing on a computer system. An exemplary method may include receiving, at an agent, one or more commands, storing the one or more received commands, retrieving the one or more stored commands, and determining whether the one or more retrieved commands can be executed by comparing at least one time parameter associated with the agent to at least one time parameter associated with the one or more retrieved commands.
