One embodiment of the present invention provides a system and method for providing a flexible framework for remote heterogeneous server management and control. A user interface framework is generated to export control and display features in a user interface effecting task execution and management of one or more remote heterogeneous agents responsive to user interaction. A management station framework is executed and includes services and base management functions implemented in management modules. The management station framework further generates the control and display features of the user interface and maintains a database storing management information. An agent framework provides execution of commands to control and return of results from one or more agents. The agent framework further includes an interface loading and accessing agent code located on one or more applications deployed to each agent.
