Abstract
A method of discovering LAN clients running desktop management interface ('DMI') 2.0 is described. In particular, responsive to a discovery request, a DMIADMIN running on a LAN administrator broadcasts a discovery packet to the LAN and then awaits responses in the form of reply packets from desktop management interface ('DMI') agents installed on LAN clients running DMI 2.0. Each reply packet contains data indicating the corresponding client's system type (e.g., notebook or desktop), name, and network address.
