There are various jobs that can be performed using out of band management. Some of these jobs may include: the configuration of advertisements and any scheduled software updates. This needs to be done in order for the computer to wake up before it completely starts and runs. It may also include the reconfiguration of BIOS settings. Other tasks will include system repairs, running commands and running diagnostic applications. These tasks are all done by way of booting the computer into a command based running platform. Out of band management can also allow the computer’s admin to restart a computer which is not responding or functioning. The computer can also be booted from an image file or reconnected locally.
