A system and method for managing multiple server computer systems on a computer network. The functions of a central management server are distributed to multiple daemons executing independently of each other on one or more computer systems. Distributing the functions of the central management server to separate multiple daemons substantially improves the reliability of a multi-server management application.

A method and apparatus for dynamically storing objects of an object-oriented programming application in a LDAP repository so that useful information from the objects may be read by other applications are disclosed. Embodiments of the method preferably comprise dynamically determining persistent attributes, which are a subset of each object's attributes, for each object being stored and mapping the persistent attributes to LDAP attributes in the LDAP repository. Embodiments of the invention preferably comprise a persistent data manager that is a component of the object-oriented programming application and that acts as an interface to the LDAP repository, storing objects in the LDAP repository when requested. The objects may be Java objects.
