Claim Text:
1. A processor implemented method for use at a computer system, the processor implemented method for managing a target device, the processor implemented method comprising: receiving a device-neutral configuration directive, the device-neutral configuration directive having been modified by one or more directive processors based on operational data collected from one or more other target devices that previously attempted to apply the device-neutral configuration directive, the operational data providing feedback for use in modifying the device-neutral configuration directive for the target device, the operational data including information relevant to success or failure of applying the device-neutral configuration directive at the one or more other target devices; translating the device-neutral configuration directive into a device-specific configuration directive for the target device based on the feedback; and sending the device-specific configuration directive to the target device to implement a configuration change for the target device.
