Abstract
A method and system for efficiently personalizing computer hardware. Under the present invention, a subscriber will store computer personalization information pertaining to their existing servers and workstations with a provider. As the servers and/or workstations are replaced (or upgraded), the personalization information can be transmitted/downloaded from the provider to the new (or upgraded) servers. Once the new severs are personalized, the personalization information pertaining to the old workstations will be sent/transmitted to the new workstations. This transmitted information will be then used to personalize the new workstations.
