    摘要: Systems and methods to access password-protected stored data when a corresponding data password has been lost, forgotten, or is otherwise unavailable, and to recover the data password to facilitate access to the password-protected data from a digital memory device such as a hard disk drive associated with a user computer. In some embodiments the computer is communicatively coupled with a network and receives at least one encryption key from a secure computer via the network. In other embodiments the computer is a stand alone computer and receives at least one encryption key from a removable, non-volatile memory such as a CD ROM. The encryption key is used to encrypt the data password and both are stored on the hard disk drive. If the data password becomes lost, forgotten, or otherwise unavailable, the encrypted password is recovered from the hard disk drive and decrypted to recover the data password.

    摘要: A technique is disclosed for storing an electronic record of the existence of licenses available for use in a network of computers and the deployment status of programs covered by the licenses. License tokens are stored on a license server, and the stored license tokens are used to validate the deployment of applications stored on clients associated with the license server. The license server maintains the license tokens for all licensed applications used by the associated clients and maintains a license file for each client. Periodically, the license file containing token data is sent to the pre-boot environment of each client in the system, e.g., by a synching process. A license-maintenance application residing in the pre-boot environment of each client validates the applications stored on the client by comparing them with the token data in the license file upon the occurrence of a pre-boot process.

    摘要: A method and system is described for a wireless client computer to be connected via an access point to a network only if the wireless client computer has executed all requisite anti-virus programs. Where necessary, a signal from the access point notifies an anti-viral program server that an anti-virus needs to be immediately downloaded to the wireless client computer. An anti-virus fix is installed on the wireless client computer, and a full session is then initiated between the wireless client computer and a wireless network via the access point.

    摘要: A method that restricts a user's access to critical data on a client and network by requiring renewal of a client's lease for accessing the network by an administrative utility of the network during each login by a user to the client. A user/client logon policy is created for each user and/or each client and stored at the lease server. The lease server executes a utility that utilizes the policies to control whether a user is allowed to access a particular client on the network. User access to the client and ultimately the network is only provided when the lease term is renewed for the client (and user). When a lease term is not renewed/extended, the user is blocked from accessing the client system.

    摘要: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for autonomically disposing a computer such as a workstation. The computer's local persistent storage medium is configured with pre-boot image which is configured with a set of functional modules that facilitate disposal or recycling of the computer to the next user. The disposal and recycle methods are automated, require minimal user intervention, and facilitate moving configuration options and data to a different computer. The entire process may execute from the pre-boot image on the computer's local persistent storage medium without ever booting the primary operating system.

    摘要: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for reassigning a client. A selection module selects a second computation module that is hardware compatible with a first computation module. A suspension module suspends a software process for a client executing on the first computation module. An execution state module copies a computation module execution state of the first computation module to the second computation module. A memory map module copies a memory map of a software process image associated with the software process and stored in a first storage system from the first computation module to the second computation module. In one embodiment, a resumption module resumes the software process executing on the second computation module.

    摘要: A method and system are disclosed in which a management module (MM) designates an idle blade in a client blade farm to be an “administrative blade” that has administrator access to the virtual images of all users. The MM identifies when a particular user image is, or is not, in use and conveys this information to the administrative blade. The administrative blade performs virus scans, backups, defrags, patch installs, software upgrades, and other such maintenance functions on user images when they are inactive, thereby eliminating the performance impact to active users.

    摘要: An apparatus for securely backing up data using a cryptographic module includes a mass storage device having a first accessible portion and a second encrypted portion. The mass storage device is initialized to only decrypt the encrypted portion on the system that first created the encrypted portion. The cryptographic module may be a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) based on specifications from the Trusted Computer Group. The mass storage device comprises a trusted platform interface module configured to communicate with the TPM. The system may include a motherboard having a TPM, and the mass storage device. The method in one embodiment comprises providing a computer readable mass storage device, initializing a password module, transmitting an encrypted password to the cryptographic module, authenticating the encrypted password, decrypting the encrypted password, transmitting the decrypted password to the computer readable medium, and decrypting the second encrypted portion using the decrypted password.
