         Appeal No. 2006-3284                                                       
         Application No. 10/061,871                                                 
         contain the necessary profiles for configuring the server.  It is          
         our view that that one of ordinary skill in the art at the time            
         of the present invention would have readily recognized that                
         Kamper’s teaching of determining which of the files stored on the          
         removable media is more suitable for configuring a particular              
         server amounts to selecting a current file for configuring said            
         server.  The ordinarily skilled artisan would have duly                    
         recognized that since the server polls the devices attached                
         thereto each time it needs to locate configuration files, such             
         acquired files are, from the standpoint point of the selecting             
         server, necessarily the most currently and pertinently available           
         configuration files on the storage device at the time of                   
         selection.  We further find that Sun’s teachings are cumulative            
         to Kamper’s.  Consequently, we do not find error in the                    
         Examiner’s stated position, which concludes that the combination           
         of Kamper and Sun teaches the limitation of generating a server            
         configuration profile image based on a current configuration               
         server.                                                                    
              It is therefore our view, after consideration of the record           
         before us, that the evidence relied upon and the level of skill in         
         the particular art would have suggested to the ordinarily skilled          
         artisan the invention as set forth in claim 18.  Accordingly, we           
         will sustain the Examiner’s rejection of claims 18, 20 through 30.         
                                         14
