First Claim
1. A method for making a prerecorded stored file of a sequence of keystrokes and interactive display cursor selections for controlling the subsequent configuration of a network comprising at least one server computer and a plurality of client computers comprising:
- predetermining the components and the programs to be supported by each of said server and client computers in said network and the configuration of said network,making the interactive keystroke and cursor entries required to install said predetermined components and programs on said server and client computers through the display interface of a primary one of said server computers,making the interactive keystroke and cursor entries required for further configuration of said network through said display interface, andstoring the sequence of said entries in a recorded file in said primary server computer.
