Abstract
Systems and methods support docking of an Information Handling System (IHS) to a docking station. A docking connection is detected from the IHS to a docking station that provides use of peripheral devices that are coupled to the docking station. However, the docking station is determined to be unrecognized such that it is not associated with a docking profile in a library of docking profiles available to the IHS. A docking profile is generated, such as bey a remote docking support service, for use of the docking station according to known preferences of a user of the IHS. The generated docking profile is adjusted based on the library of docking profiles, where the adjustments migrate user preferences from one or more of the docking profiles to the generated docking profile.
