COMPARING AND PROVISIONING CONFIGURATIONS FOR A CLIENT HAVING A WINDOWS-BASED EMBEDDED IMAGE
First Claim
1. An apparatus for comparing and provisioning configurations for a local client having a windows-based embedded image, the apparatus comprising:
- a retrieval module of the local client configured to facilitate locating a remote repository server containing a new configuration file, the retrieval module configured to facilitate obtaining the new configuration file from the remote repository server, the retrieval module configured to facilitate obtaining a previous configuration file associated with a previous configuration change successfully applied to the windows-based embedded image;
a configuration comparison module of the local client configured to compare the new configuration file with the previous configuration file; and
an apply settings module of the local client configured to apply, to the windows-based embedded image, one of a new configuration change and the previous configuration change based on the comparison,wherein the new configuration change is based on the new configuration file, andwherein the windows-based embedded image supports a graphical user interface and comprises an operating system and one or more applications.

Abstract
Examples of methods and apparatus are provided for comparing and provisioning configurations for a local client having a windows-based embedded image. The apparatus may include a retrieval module of the local client configured to facilitate locating a remote repository server containing a new configuration file, to facilitate obtaining the new configuration file from the remote repository server, and to facilitate obtaining a previous configuration file associated with a previous configuration change successfully applied to the embedded image. The apparatus may include a configuration comparison module of the local client configured to compare the new configuration file with the previous configuration file. The apparatus may include an apply settings module of the local client configured to apply, to the embedded image, one of a new configuration change and the previous configuration change based on the comparison. The new configuration change may be based on the new configuration file.

14. A method for comparing and provisioning configurations for a local client having a windows-based embedded image, the method comprising:
-
facilitating locating a remote repository server containing a new configuration file; facilitating obtaining, at the local client, the new configuration file from the remote repository server; facilitating obtaining, at the local client, a previous configuration file associated with a previous configuration change successfully applied to the windows-based embedded image; comparing the new configuration file with the previous configuration file; and applying, to the windows-based embedded image, one of a new configuration change and the previous configuration change based on the comparison, wherein the new configuration change is based on the new configuration file, and wherein the windows-based embedded image supports a graphical user interface and comprises an operating system and one or more applications.

15. A machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by a processing system to perform a method for comparing and provisioning configurations for a local client having a windows-based embedded image, the instructions comprising code for:
-
facilitating locating a remote repository server containing a new configuration file; facilitating obtaining, at the local client, the new configuration file from the remote repository server; facilitating obtaining, at the local client, a previous configuration file associated with a previous configuration change successfully applied to the windows-based embedded image; comparing the new configuration file with the previous configuration file; and applying, to the windows-based embedded image, one of a new configuration change and the previous configuration change based on the comparison, wherein the new configuration change is based on the new configuration file, and wherein the windows-based embedded image supports a graphical user interface and comprises an operating system and one or more applications.
