ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for detecting and initializing the addition of a new client machine to a network while requiring only minimal intervention by an individual. The above is accomplished by using the unique network adapter addresses, for each client of the network, to determine whether or not existing client machines are operative, as well as the addition of a new client machine to the network. Upon the detection of the addition of a new client machine, the new client machine is initialized using profiles and templates to default parameters, and is fully operative with minimal interaction by an individual.
