Abstract
Methods and apparatus for remotely managing a computer are disclosed. For example, a remote management agent is provided for use in a computer having a processor. The example remote management agent includes a communication agent in communication with the controller to contact a server before an operating system is loaded on the computer to obtain an initialization packet from a server and an initialization packet loader in communication with the controller to load the initialization packet in a protected memory area of the computer, before the operating system is loaded. The remote management agent also includes a monitoring agent, not associated with the operating system, in communication with the controller to monitor the computer for a communication from the server and a command line interface agent, also not associated with the operating system and in communication with the controller to interpret and respond to the communication from the server.
