Claim:
A computer-readable storage medium, excluding signals, having computer-executable components tangibly encoded thereon, comprising: an open mobile alliance (OMA) device management (DM) structure that includes standard OMA DM management objects associated with an OMA DM protocol for managing parameters including non-standardized parameters on a mobile device by an OMA DM server; and generating an OMA DM structure for bootstrapping the mobile device with provisioning information that includes an extension to the standard OMA DM management objects, wherein the extension is associated with at least one non-standardized parameter for managing the mobile device settings on the mobile device such that the non-standardized parameter is managed within the OMA DM structure provided by the OMA DM protocol and wherein the extension includes a path to the at least one non-standardized parameter within nodes of the OMA DM structure; wherein the non-standardized parameter that is included in the provisioning information specifies that the OMA DM server is to manage the non-standardized parameter, and when the non-standardized parameter is managed by the OMA DM server, the OMA DM server sending a command to the mobile device that when executed by the mobile device is used to perform at least one of: create, delete, modify, and query the non-standardized parameter on the mobile device.
