DynamicAccess Managed PC Boot Agent
The DynamicAccess Managed PC Boot Agent comes with the 3Com 10/100 Mini-PCI
Ethernet Adapter. With the PC boot agent, system administrators can accomplish a
comprehensive range of management tasks or repairs from a central management station.
These tasks include installing and configuring new computers, performing software
upgrades, reconfiguring multiple computer systems, backing up and restoring hard disk
drives, and scanning for viruses. After the PC boot agent performs these tasks, boot
control is returned to the local hard disk drive on the computer.
The DynamicAccess managed PC boot agent increases network manageability and
reduces cost because routine tasks can be performed from a central location without
requiring major network changes or upgrades.
