Abstract
An information processing system in which update processes are automated in conformity with types of client machines, to thereby dispense with manual version update processes, and within which redirectors of identical version are run at any time, to thereby prevent any error ascribable to different programs from occurring. When a redirector stored in the client machine is started, it notifies version information of its own to a configuration management program stored in a server machine. In a case where version information of a redirector stored in a configuration management database is newer than the notified version information, the configuration management program sends an update request back to the redirector of the client machine and transfers the new redirector to the client machine so as to update the redirector thereof.
