Abstract
The invention provides method and apparatus for an improved data processing system having an administrative control server; an administrative control database, connected to said administrative control server; and at least one group of servers having similar, but not necessarily identical, configurations adapted for communication with the administrative control server for administrative control thereby, in which the control server can change the configurations of the administered servers to a new desired configuration for each administered server where the new configuration is in synchronization with the configuration of each of said other administered server, by generating synchronization instructions from parameterized synchronization scripts stored in the control database.
