Abstract:
Systems and methods support updates peripheral devices that may be coupled to an Information Handling System (IHS), such as provided at shared-use workstations. The IHS reports, to a remote orchestrator, an inventory of peripheral devices that are coupled to the IHS. In response, the remote orchestrator provides the IHS with files for updates to some or all of the coupled peripheral devices. As part of the updates, the remote orchestrator also designates a specific peripheral device as a proxy for making updates to other peripherals of the shared-use workstation. The IHS transmits the files to the proxy peripheral device, where the files are stored in a memory of the proxy peripheral device. The proxy peripheral device uses the files to update the other peripherals of the shared-use workstation, such as when the peripherals are not in use by the IHS, or after the IHS has been disconnected.
