Event-based application for performing configuration changes in a networked environment

A method in a client-server environment, to manage a configuration of resources on at least one client system, the method on a client system comprising:

• receiving on a client system from a server system a file of one or more predetermined events along with one or more local run-time environmental conditions along with one or more selectable configuration settings, wherein the local run-time environmental conditions are determined after a client system has started, and wherein the selectable configuration settings are specific to a group of users on the client system;
• and
• running a monitoring agent on the client system to detect when one or more predetermined events of a start-up or shut down of the client system occurs then determining if the one or more local run-time environmental conditions are met and if the conditions are met then automatically applying at least one of the one or more selectable configuration settings on the client system;
• wherein at least one of the predetermined events, the settings and the environmental conditions are previously set graphically on the server system using a graphical user interface with one or more user selectable selections therein.
