1. A non-transitory machine readable medium including instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, at a device driver module of a target machine, simulated device input, herein referred to as SDI, from a source machine, the SDI in a form specific to a local target input device serviced by the device driver module, the source machine being remote from the target machine;
providing the SDI, without modification, to a consumer of the device driver module; and
transmitting a representation of a graphical display of the target machine'"'"'s to a graphical user interface (GUI) of the source machine including a response to the provided SDI, the GUI providing a representation of device output on the target machine and also providing an interactive input mechanism for devices of the target machine.

Abstract
Various systems and techniques for remote machine management are described. Simulated device input (SDI) may be received from a source machine at a device driver module of a target machine, the source machine is remote from the target machine. The SDI may correspond to a local target input device serviced by the device driver module. The SDI may be provided to a consumer of the device driver module. A representation of a local target machine graphical display may be transmitted to the source machine including a response to the provided SDI.

7. A source machine for remote device management, the source machine comprising:
-
a management module to; create pass-through simulated device input for a target input device based on a source input device, a selection of the target input device received from a user of the source machine, and a local device driver for the target input device; transmit the pass-through simulated device input to a device driver module servicing the target input device on a target machine remote from the source machine; and present, to the user, a representation of a graphical display of the target machine; and a graphical display to display a graphical user interface (GUI) including a representation of the graphical display of the target machine, the GUI providing a representation of device output on the target machine and also providing an interactive input mechanism for devices of the target machine. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)
