Applying configuration settings to a device
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- for a user group to which a first user is assigned, identifying a plurality of configuration settings on client devices used by respective other users in the user group;
assigning, using a processor, a respective homogeneity score to each of the identified plurality of configuration settings, the homogeneity score assigned to each configuration setting based on, at least in part, a homogeneity of the configuration setting among the client devices used by the respective other users in the user group;
for each of the respective configuration settings, selecting at least one configuration setting value as a candidate configuration setting value based on, at least in part, the homogeneity score assigned to each configuration setting; and
communicating the candidate configuration setting value for each configuration setting to a client device used by the first user, wherein the client device sets at least one of the configuration settings with a respective candidate configuration setting value.

Abstract
For a user group to which a first user is assigned, a plurality of configuration settings on client devices used by respective other users in the user group can be identified. A respective homogeneity score can be assigned to each of the identified plurality of configuration settings. For each of the respective configuration settings, at least one configuration setting value can be selected as a candidate configuration setting value based on, at least in part, the homogeneity score assigned to each configuration setting. The candidate configuration setting value for each confirmation setting can be communicated to a client device used by the first user, wherein the client device sets at least one of the configuration settings with a respective candidate configuration setting value.
