Abstract

In one embodiment, a method is performed by a computer system. The method includes receiving a trigger to setup a target resource for remote control at a management system, wherein an operating system of the target resource enforces a transactional installation process for new software, wherein the operating system designates user-writable storage. The method further includes, responsive to the trigger, retrieving prerequisite client-side software of the management system. In addition, the method includes creating a remote connection to the target resource using an encrypted network protocol. Further, the method includes copying, via the remote connection, the prerequisite client-side software to the user-writable storage. Moreover, the method includes causing the copied prerequisite client-side software to be installed in the user-writable storage of the target resource, thereby bypassing the transactional installation process of the operating system of the target resource.
