Abstract
Methods and systems are described for factory configuration of existing customer settings so that existing customer settings can be easily configured or pre-configured on new information handling systems. A software module is run on a first information handling system that captures configuration information for an existing information handling system. One example for such configuration information is network configuration information associated with one or more existing wireless and/or wired networks on which a new information handling system will operate. Captured configuration information is transferred to a server information handling system associated with ordering of the new information handling system. The transferred configuration information is then used to configure the new information handling system.
