Abstract
An information handling system has an abstraction layer that may receive a request from an agent to import a configuration setting to a first client device with a first operating system, wherein the configuration setting is associated with a user identifier. If the first operating system and a second operating system are different, then first configuration data may be transmitted to the translation layer, wherein the first configuration data is associated with the second operating system. A translation layer may receive the first configuration data from the abstraction layer, translate the a second configuration data based on the first configuration data to a translated configuration setting; and transmit an instruction associated with the translated configuration setting to an agent command layer. The agent command layer may transmit the instruction to the agent to replicate the second configuration setting of the second client device on the first client device.
