1. A client, comprising:
a storage device comprising a device management tree; a reception device configured to receive a command from a server comprising a specific condition; a processor configured to execute the command and generate a status message based on whether the command is executed based on the specific condition; and a transmission device configured to transmit the status message to the server, wherein the specific condition comprises a specific path in the device management tree, and the command requests the processor to add a management object to the device management tree, or the specific condition comprises a suggested name, and the command requests the processor to add a node to the device management tree and name the node; wherein under the condition that the command is not executed based on the specific condition, the status message comprising an actual path for the management object is generated when the processor adds the management object in an actual path different from the specific path, or the status message comprising an actual node name is generated, when the processor adds the node to the device management tree and names the node using an actual node name different from the suggested name.
