ABSTRACT:
A mechanism is disclosed for automatically configuring a resource to interact with a network. In one embodiment, the mechanism takes the form of a configuration program executed by the resource being configured. The program obtains a set of configuration information, configures the resource using the configuration information, registers the resource with a domain, and creates a user account on the domain. In addition, the program copies a profile from one account to another to migrate an operating environment from an existing account into a new account. By automating the resource configuration process, the program transforms what currently is a time consuming task requiring potentially thousands of manhours into a simple task that takes just minutes.
