Abstract

A management agent operates transparently in the background on each endpoint computing device that needs to be managed. The agent performs a static analysis of the system on the endpoint computing device on which it is operating in order to capture the applications that have been installed on the endpoint device. The static analysis is performed after the applications have been installed on the endpoint device and therefore does not require installing the application on any dedicated staging machine, nor any recording of the pre-installation state. The post-installation static analysis involves steps that are used to determine all of the necessary components that comprise the application, which can then be packaged together and managed as individual application packages.
