摘要

Techniques for managing a variety of types of client devices from a device management platform are provided herein. At least one client device is selected to have a management task performed, such as an imaging task. The client device(s) is/are coupled to a client administration system that administers the client device(s). A deployment job is generated for the management task. A begin request is transmitted to a plug-in module of the client administration system to begin the deployment job. The plug-in module is customized to be capable of managing received deployment jobs for the client administration system. The plug-in module enables the deployment job to be performed on the client device(s) in response to the begin request.
