Systems and methods for managing shared-use peripheral devices

Abstract

System and methods utilize Information Handling Systems (IHSs) in updating shared-use peripheral devices, such as peripherals available at a public or shared-use workstation. The coupling of a first shared-use peripheral device to the IHS is detected. The coupling of the first shared-use peripheral device is reported to a remote orchestrator that may support the operation of workspaces on the IHS. Files are received from the remote orchestrator for updating the first shared-use peripheral device. The IHS updates the first shared-use peripheral device using the received files. A coupling is detected of a coupling of a second shared-use peripheral device to the IHS, such as resulting form movement to a different shared-use workstation. If compatible, the second shared-use peripheral device is also updated using the received files. An IHS that is regularly coupled to different peripherals at different shared-use workstations may be selected to effectively distribute updates to these peripherals.
