Abstract
Systems and methods for automatic discovery of a network address of a machine storing a management server application. The system includes a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server, which may perform internet protocol (IP) address leasing for DHCP clients. When the DHCP server performs IP address leasing to the machine storing the management server application, the DHCP server may configure a first IP address issued to the machine in vendor specific class information. When the DHCP server performs IP address leasing to a computing device functioning as a thin/zero client, the DHCP server may, in the IP address leasing process, send the vendor specific class information requested to the computing device. Thus, the computing device may retrieve the first network address of the machine from the vendor specific class information, and communicate with the management server application using the first network address of the machine.
