ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the present invention provide for automated client-computer connection to NAS objects within a networked computer system. In certain embodiments of the present invention, a master-agent process is continuously executed on one or more computers of the networked computer system. The master agent is connected to, manages, and exchanges information with a NAS-object repository. When a client computer is booted, or reinitializes, a client agent running on a client computer communicates with the master agent in order to receive at least one executable code block for each NAS object designated for access by the client computer. By executing these executable code blocks, the client computer can automatically connect to the NAS objects. In certain embodiments of the present invention, the master agent also provides an administration interface that allows a system administrator to configure a networked computer environment with respect to client computers and NAS objects.
