Automatic server-side plug-and-play without user intervention

摘要

Automatic server-side plug-and-play without user intervention is disclosed. An automatic plug-and-play component residing on the server is designed to detect connection and disconnection of a device to a port. Without user intervention, the component automatically installs an appropriate driver for the device upon connection of the device to the port. The device is then accessible by clients served by the server. Also without user intervention, the component automatically uninstalls the driver upon disconnection of the device from the port. The device is then inaccessible by the clients.
