摘要： A method of controlling the selection of operating systems at a first instance of user logon on a target device is provided. A network bootstrap program is initiated at the target device and configuration data of the target device is determined. A selection manager is designated based on the configuration data and the selection of a target operating system is controlled with the selection manager prior to executing an operating system at the target device.

摘要： A watermark property is specified for a print queue, subject to control only by network administrators. The value within the watermark may be a pointer to a graphic image, text, or a logical value, allowing flexible specification of a water-mark on a printer by printer basis. The queue watermark property overrides any print job watermark properties before the print job is submitted to the print driver, regardless of whether the print job watermark was set in the job properties locally or remotely, by a user or an application. The queue watermark property thus serves as a distinct, mandatory watermark associated with the print queue, whether local or network. The watermark property setting is retained by a persistent parameter in configuration information for the print server hosting the print queue, which is employed to initialize the queue. As a queue property, which ordinary users will not normally be permitted to control, the watermark property may be protected from modification or circumvention by any user not having network administrator status.

摘要翻译： 为打印队列指定了一个水印属性，仅由网络管理员控制。 水印中的值可以是指向图形图像，文本或逻辑值的指针，允许通过打印机在打印机上灵活地指定水印。 队列水印属性在打印作业提交给打印驱动程序之前，覆盖任何打印作业水印属性，无论用户还是应用程序本地或远程地将打印作业水印设置在作业属性中。 队列水印属性因此用作与打印队列相关联的不同的强制水印，无论是本地还是网络。 水印属性设置由承载打印队列的打印服务器的配置信息中的持久参数保留，用于初始化队列。 作为普通用户通常不被允许控制的队列属性，可以保护不具有网络管理员状态的任何用户的修改或规避的水印属性。

摘要： A method of dynamically creating a list of operating systems for a target device in communication with a server prior to executing an operating system on the target device is provided. The target device receives an available operating systems list from the server. A hardware configuration of the target device is then determined. It is also determined if the hardware configuration is compatible with each operating system from the available operating systems list. A list of compatible operating systems is then generated. Systems and programs for dynamically creating a list of operating systems for a target device are also provided.

摘要： A method of selecting an operating system at a target device in communication with a server is provided. A network bootstrap program is initiated at the target device prior to executing an operating system at the target device. The target device sends a bootstrap list command from the target device to the server and receives an operating systems list of at least one operating system. A target operating system is then selected from the operating systems list.

摘要： A method, system, and computer program product are provided for managing email disk usage based on user specified conditions. An incoming email for a user is scanned for email expressions. A determination is made as to whether one of the email expressions matches one of a number of listed expressions forming a matched expression. Responsive to a presence of a matched expression, a determination is made as to whether a first threshold associated with the matched expression is met or exceeded. Responsive to the first threshold being met or exceeded, a notification is sent to the user of the first threshold being met.

摘要： A session-oriented network application dependent on reliable transport of messages on a first system communicates in a new form of connectionless, session-oriented communication called Sideband over a network with a second similar application on a second system. Sideband transport is not guaranteed; Some types of messages and those which are lost must be sent on a reliable, non-Sideband transport. The LAN application contains means to track whether Sideband is both available and enabled on its session with the second application. The application determines whether to disable or reenable the Sideband in its session based on network reliability. As Sideband is fast, but unreliable, the application must be selective about which messages to send Sideband. Messages which would change the state of the receiving system if received twice due to retry of an apparently lost message should not be sent Sideband. The LAN application monitors the responses from the second system to determine whether any messages sent Sideband were lost. In the event of a Sideband message being lost, the application has retry logic which resends the message via a non-Sideband path.

摘要： A method uses a record of I/O priorities in a determination of a storage medium of a hybrid storage system in which to store a file. The method maintains the record of I/O priorities by assigning an I/O temperature value to each request for access to the file based upon an I/O priority level of the process making the request. The method marks the file as hot if the file temperature value is greater than a threshold value. The method stores files marked as hot in a lower latency storage medium of the hybrid storage medium.
