Abstract

A system and method for registering a workstation. The system enables a client to locate an import service for importing workstation information using the domain name system (DNS). A client may send registration information to the import service after locating the import service using the DNS. The import service may then create a workstation object based on at least a portion of the registration information. The import service may then forward the workstation object to the client for registering the workstation.
