Patent number: 11928494Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to configuring managed virtual machines. For instance, a management service (e.g., a mobile device manager) may provide configuration settings to a parent virtual machine. Upon successful application of the configuration settings, the parent virtual machine notifies a configuration service that it is in a steady state and provides the configuration settings to the configuration service. The configuration service notifies a cloud-based service (e.g., a virtual desktop service) that it is configured to instantiate virtual machines. The notification informs the cloud-based service that it is permitted to instantiate child virtual machines. Responsive to receiving the notification, the cloud-based service instantiates child virtual machine(s) as needed.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Peter J Kaufman, Shayak Lahiri, Yi Zhao, Go Komatsu, Pieter Willem Wigleven, Randall R.
