A remote projector and administration control method and apparatus enables the integration of presentation projector resources in an networked enterprise environment. A projector server computer connected to the network hosts one or more presentation data/video projectors. Alternatively, a network enabled projector functions as both the projector server host and projector. Residing on the projector server host are a repository for storing presentation data and user profiles, a projector server and three interfaces: a projector interface to communicate with the hosted projector, a host discovery interface to discover other projector server hosts or network enabled projectors on the network, and a host interface to interact with the identified hosts using the facilities of the remote projector and administration method and apparatus. The host discovery interface discovers the identity of other active projector servers or network enabled projectors on the network. The host interface enables clients to get or set information controlling the identified active projector servers or network enabled projectors, including administering the security, operation, and maintenance of the projectors. The projector server serves web content obtained from the three interfaces to clients using a standard web server.
