Abstract
A mechanism for performing a network boot sequence and provisioning a device may generate a command by a server and have the command executed by the device. The command may be used to verify the authenticity of the device, and may be used to establish ownership of the device. After authenticity and, in some cases ownership is established, bootable software may be downloaded and executed. The device may be provisioned with software applications.
