Abstract

A computer network comprising a client and a server is provided, wherein a client session is initiated. The client executes a local boot image associated with the client and sends a startup request to the server over a computer network. In response to the request, the server transmits a client boot image to the client. The client boot image comprises a client operating system. After receiving the client boot image, the client initiates operation of the client operating system by executing the boot image. The client boot may also comprise a client-side manager that is installed when the client executes the client boot image. In this embodiment, the client-side manager transmits a configuration request to the server which includes a unique client identifier. The server receives the configuration request and retrieves a configuration profile for the client using the unique client identifier.
