Abstract
A method of and system for managing installs to a set of one or more field machines in a distributed network environment. In an illustrative embodiment, the system includes at least one change coordinator server that includes a database with data identifying a current state of each field machine, and a change controller routine for initiating a given control action to initiate an update to the current state on a given field machine. In particular, the change controller routine may include a scheduling algorithm that evaluates data from the database and identifies a set of field machines against which the given control action may be safely executed at a given time. At least one install server is responsive to the change controller routine initiating the given control action for invoking the update to the current state on the given field machine.
