Abstract:
An agent can be employed on write filter enabled devices to retrieve a default configuration from a server when a user logs in. The default configuration can define which user configuration settings are persist-able. After the user has customized user configuration settings, the agent can identify customizations to any persist-able user configuration setting and create a delta configuration to define these customizations. The agent can send the delta configuration to a server so that it will be available when the user logs in to any other write filter enabled device. At any subsequent login, the agent can retrieve the delta configuration and use it to customize the user configuration settings. In this way, a set of customized user configurations settings can be persisted and applied on any write filter enabled device that a user may log in to.
