Abstract
According to one embodiment, a setting information file set in a reference information processing device is acquired in a management device, and a specific designatable item in the setting information file set by the reference information processing device is edited. An instruction describing an automatic setting procedure to be executed by a target information processing device is generated. A setting information file identified by an acquisition request received from the target information processing device is sent to the target information processing device in response to the acquisition request, the target information processing device sending the acquisition request in response to execution of the automatic setting procedure instruction by the target information processing device. Thus, a specific item can be detected from the setting information file acquired by the target information processing device, and device information managed by the target information processing device is set to the detected specific item.
