Patent ID: 8849960

Claim:
A computerized method of automatically administering a plurality of diverse security-constrained servers, the computerized method comprising: querying a secure access management database on a storage device, with a computer executing logic contained on a medium, for information relating to profile and access parameters for a plurality of diverse security-constrained servers, wherein a resultant list obtained from the querying at least partially determines which sets of commands will be automatically transmitted to at least one of the plurality of servers wherein the secure access management database is remote from the plurality of servers; automatically transmitting, with the computer executing logic contained on the medium, a first set of the commands to the at least one of the plurality of servers, wherein the first set of the commands includes access commands configured to gain secure access to the at least one of the plurality of servers; automatically and non-invasively obtaining, with the computer executing logic contained on the medium, administrator level access on the at least one of the plurality of the servers using the first set of automatically transmitted commands; automatically transmitting, with the computer executing logic contained on the medium, a second set of the commands to the at least one of the plurality of servers wherein the second set of the commands include action commands configured to perform administrative tasks on the at least one of the plurality of servers; and intrusively administering the at least one of the plurality of the servers, with the computer executing logic contained on the medium and an agent installed on the at least one of the plurality of servers, using the administrator level access and the second set of automatically transmitted commands.
