Abstract
A configuration control transfer ('CCT') system controls the transferring of control of configuration information of a device from a current configuration source to a target configuration source. A CCT server of the CCT system may send to the device a message requesting the configuration information of the device. In response, a CCT client of the CCT system collects the configuration information of the device and sends the collected configuration information to the CCT server. If the second configuration source can support the configuration information of the current configuration source, the CCT server requests that the device transfer control of the configuration information from the current configuration source to the target configuration source. The CCT client then transfers control of the configuration information to the target configuration source as the new current configuration source and un-enrolls the device from the former current configuration source.
