CONFIGURATION OF ONE OR MORE COMPUTER DEVICES

摘要

An image loader resource invokes execution of a backup restoration function in a target computer device to be configured or reconfigured. The backup restoration function in the target computer device is present on the target computer device to receive a device image of data settings derived from a previously configured computer device. In furtherance of configuring the target computer device, the image loader resource retrieves a device image. According to one configuration, rather than being an actual device image obtained from a previously configured or already used computer device, the device image information is synthesized from a set of computer configuration instructions received from an administrator resource. The computer configuration instructions specify settings to be applied to the target computer device. The image loader resource communicates the synthesized device image information to the backup restoration function on the target computer device to configure the target computer device.
