  • Patent number: 11954472
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for resolving conflicts between workflows in a workflow processing system. A plurality of workflows stored in a workflow queue are evaluated to identify a common dependency of the plurality of workflows. Then, a version hierarchy is created for the common dependency of the plurality of workflows, the version hierarchy identifying multiple versions of the common dependency. In response to execution of a first one of the plurality of workflows stored in the workflow queue, the version hierarchy can be evaluated to identify the most recent version of the common dependency. Then, installation of the most recent version of the common dependency can be initiated.

  • Patent number: 11855833
    Abstract: Examples of device-driven management are described. A management service can transmit a device-driven management workflow to a number of client devices. The device-driven management workflow can include workflow objects that define a branching sequence of instructions. The client devices can provide a corresponding plurality of completion statuses for a step of the device-driven management workflow. The management service can identify a failure of the step according to a set of failure rules, and visually emphasize the failure within a representation of the device-driven management workflow.

  • Publication number: 20230004371
    Abstract: Disclosed are various implementations for distributing and installing packages in response to user logon events. A logon event associated with a user account is detected for a client device. A query containing a respective user account identifier is sent to a provisioning service to retrieve a set of packages to install on the client device. The set of packages are received from the provisioning service and installed on the client device.

  • Publication number: 20220353327
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for recognizing state changes in client devices and managing the state of client devices using device-driven management workflows. A computing device can receive a state of a client device. The computing device can then determine if the received state matches an expected, compliant state of the client device. When the computing device determines that the received state does not match the expected state, the computing device can identify a remedial workflow that would bring the client device into compliance. The computing device can send the remedial workflow and an instruction to run the remedial workflow to the client device.

  • Patent number: 11470149
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for managing the state of client devices using device-driven management workflows. A computing device can be evaluated to determine the current state of the computing device. Then, the current state of the computing device is compared to an expected state of the computing device. The expected state of the computing device may be based at least in part on a result of execution of at least one device-driven management workflow by the computing device. In response to a determination that the current state of the computing device fails to match the expected state of the computing device, the device-driven management workflow can be executed to resolve the discrepancy between the expected state and the current state.
