Abstract
Registering a computer system for use in an enterprise. A method includes receiving, from a device management infrastructure of the enterprise, an executable system management component (SMC), and installing the SMC at a storage device. The method also includes executing the SMC, causing the computer system to register with the device management infrastructure, including applying a device settings policy to a configuration of the computer system. Executing the SMC also causes the computer system to configure itself to periodically execute a maintenance task received from the device management infrastructure. The method also includes periodically executing the maintenance task, causing the computer system to receive updated device settings policies from the device management infrastructure and apply the updated device settings policies to the configuration of the computer system, and to receive an updated application from the device management infrastructure and install the updated application at the computer system.
