A method of and apparatus for terminal management in a communication network, comprising communicating terminal management messages from a management platform (18) to the managed terminal (17), even where the managed terminal (17) is situated in a different administrative domain from the management platform (18). The management messages are encoded in messages addressed to the managed terminal (17) and sent to an intermediate server (24, 27, 28) in the network, the intermediate server (24, 27, 28) being accessible to the managed terminal (17). The method is particularly applicable where the managed terminal (17) communicates with the network over at least one wireless link (19). Preferably, the management messages are transported encoded in a message protocol used for sending data messages. <IMAGE>
