  • Patent number: 11930426
    Abstract: Examples of detecting whether a device meets an enrollment level are disclosed. In one case, a method for providing access to an application on a client device includes receiving a request to access an application from the client device, determining an enrollment level associated with the application, and determining that multi-factor authentication is required for access to the application on the client device based on the enrollment level associated with the application. The method can also include initiating multi-factor authentication on the client device before access to the application is permitted. The method can also include determining that multi-factor authentication is successful on the client device, transmitting a management component to the client device, and installing the management component on the client device for enrollment as a managed device with a management service.

  • Patent number: 11900090
    Abstract: Disclosed are approaches for enforcement of updates for devices unassociated with a domain or directory service. An application executing on a client device can determine that the client device is to use a locator specified in a policy to receive and install updates to software installed on the client device. The application determines whether the client device complies with the policy based at least in part on a value of a registry key stored on the client device. The application then modifies a value of a registry key stored on the client device in an instance in which it is determined that the client device is to use the locator and that the client device does not comply with the policy.

  • Patent number: 11892981
    Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for downloading data objects by enforcing a threshold amount of allocated data. In one example, among others, an application downloads a first subset of the files from a remote file management system. A user interface displays file system entries that represent the first subset of downloaded files and a second subset of undownloaded files from the remote file management system. The application detects an event for a respective file system entry associated with a respective file from the second subset of undownloaded files. The respective file is downloaded from the remote management system.

  • Patent number: 11849008
    Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for providing network content filtering to client devices on a per-application basis. A client device is identified. Then the client device is authenticated by the device management service. If the client device is not authenticated, a user interface will facilitate the enrollment process on the client device to authenticate the client device with the management service. Then, an authentication token is received. The management application receives a request from an application to initiate a network connection. Based at least in part on the identity of the application and the client device, the management application routes network traffic associated with the application and the network connection using or without using a managed network tunnel.

  • Patent number: 11816382
    Abstract: Systems and methods for allowing an orchestrator to manage screen sharing in a meeting between multiple user devices are described. The orchestrator can use a master device to start a sharing session and select user devices to join as participant devices. The orchestrator can also select at least one receiver for receiving shared media. Participant devices are displayed on the master device. The orchestrator can then select a participant device to act as a source, and a receiver to receive the shared media from the source. The master device can contact a management server to cause the selected participant device to being sharing its screen on the receiver.

  • Patent number: 11720393
    Abstract: A system can include a host device that includes a host management component and a virtual machine execution environment with a guest management component. The guest management component receives a data object generated by the host component. The data object specifies host parameters detected for the host device and hypervisor parameters detected for the hypervisor component. The hypervisor component relays the data object from the host management component to the guest management component, which identifies a violation of a compliance rule using this information. The guest management component performs an action based on the violation.

  • Patent number: 11659076
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for initiating execution of an application using trigger characters. In one embodiment, a computing device detects an entry of a trigger character in an input field of a first user interface presented by a first application. The input field is specified for detection of the individual trigger character based on a trigger rule for the first application. The computing device then identifies a string following the trigger character. The computing device then determines that the string matches a name of a second application installed on the computing device based on a list of applications installed on the computing device. The computing device then initiates execution of the second application. Subsequently, the computing device switches from the first user interface to a second user interface presented by the second application.
