Patent number: 8145735Abstract: A portable computer-readable media device and method of use enable automatic configuration of a computing device, such as a conventional network device or a thin client device, for operation in a network. Configuration information, including network settings and security information, is incorporated in an XML file written to the portable media device while it is installed in a first device. This configuration is then automatically transferred to a second device by installing the portable media device in the second device. The second device then writes device information, incorporated in an XML file, to the portable media device, to be uploaded to the first device.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2011Date of Patent: March 27, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Scott Manchester, Benjamin Nick, Trevor W. Freeman, Dalen Abraham

Patent number: 7657612Abstract: An Extensible Mark-up Language (XML) schema is used to generate configuration settings files. A wireless configuration XML schema defines an XML file for configuring wireless network settings on a wireless device. A wide area network (WAN) configuration schema defines an XML file for configuring a WAN device. A local area network (LAN) configuration schema defines an XML file for configuring a LAN device. A broadband modem configuration schema defines an XML file for configuring a broadband modem device. A device configuration schema defines an XML file for reporting the configuration of a device.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2004Date of Patent: February 2, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Scott Manchester, Dalen Abraham, Mohammad Shabbir Alam, Jean-Pierre Duplessis, Trevor W.

Publication number: 20050198233Abstract: A computer-readable portable media device is used for transferring network settings and other configuration data to a thin client network device to simply the task of configuring the thin client device for network connectivity and other functions. A configuration program on a personal computer assists a user in creating configuration data, including network settings, for the thin client device, generates an XML file containing the configuration data, and writes the XML file in to the portable media device. The portable media device is then attached to the thin client device. The thin client device detects the portable media device and automatically loads the configuration data from the XML file.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2004Publication date: September 8, 2005Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Scott Manchester, Benjamin Nick, Trevor Freeman, Dalen Abraham
