1. A method for managing a device management (DM) terminal device, comprising: receiving, by a DM terminal device, a Get command from a DM server to acquire management object (MO) type supported by the DM terminal device; acquiring, by the DM terminal device, management object identifier (MOID) corresponding to the MO type supported by the DM terminal device from an interior node in a DM tree of the DM terminal device, wherein the interior node groups together information of the MO type supported by the DM terminal device, the information of the MO type comprise the MOID corresponding to the MO type and the MOID is stored in a leaf node under the interior node, wherein the leaf node is added as subnode of the interior node when the MO type is newly supported by the DM terminal device, wherein there is only one MOID for each MO type grouped in the internal node, regardless whether the MO type supported by the terminal has MO instances on the DM tree; and returning, by the DM terminal device, the MOID acquired to the DM server, wherein the MOID can be used to discover DM applications supported by the DM terminal device.
