| Zusammenfassung: | A system and method for automatically installing an operating system from a deployment server (16) to a target server utilizing a directory service (12). The directory service utilizes target objects (20) and policy objects (22) to authenticate the identity of a particular target system (14) and then to direct the target system to a deployment server that maintains a validated image of a desired operating system in a repository (50). The target system then communicates with the deployment server in order to install the appropriate operating system. The system is said to reduce the time and effort involved in loading operating systems, and to ensure that the proper licensed software is sent to appropriate systems. |
