Abstract: A method of evaluating a computer-implemented product that is deployed on one or more endpoints. The method includes identifying a first program and a second program of a product deployed on a first endpoint of multiple endpoints. The method includes implementing a diagnostic process at the first endpoint. The diagnostic process includes a first subroutine directed to the first program and a second subroutine directed to a second program. The subroutines each execute installation and functional parameter tests of the programs. Responsive to the first subroutine indicating that the first program is operational, the method includes outputting data that the first subroutine passed. Responsive to the second subroutine returning an unexpected result, the method includes outputting data indicating details of the unexpected result and implementing a remediation that modifies the second program or a condition at the first endpoint to mitigate the unexpected result.

Abstract: A method of profiling an endpoint includes generating a structured request including a set of inquiries, each of which being directed to an endpoint parameter and including a parameter name. The method includes generating a scan message including the set of inquiries and an additional inquiry directed to an additional endpoint parameter. The method includes receiving a single response from the endpoint including raw parameter data responsive to the set of inquiries and the additional inquiry. The method includes storing the raw parameter data in a data lake organized according to extracted metadata. The method includes labeling each data portion using the parameter name and the extracted metadata. The method may include accessing, from the data lake, portions of the raw parameter data responsive to the set of inquiries based on labels associated therewith. The method includes generating a profile report derived from the accessed data.

Abstract: A profile manager application is installed in an electronic device that fetches configuration profiles for third party applications from a remote server. Using code libraries incorporated in the third party applications and URL based commands, the profile manager application communicates with the third party applications to configure them according to the corresponding configuration profiles, even though the third party applications are running in a sandboxed environment.

Abstract: The availability of software assets on electronic devices, such as mobile devices of users, is restricted based on the time as determined by a managing server. An application that runs on the electronic devices communicates with the server to obtain information regarding which software assets are permitted to be accessed, and restricts user access accordingly. The server may use a clock, in combination with administrator-generated access restriction policies, to determine which software assets are to be made available on each electronic device at particular points in time.

Abstract: Electronic devices without device names are provided with an application for retrieving a data point from the device from which a name can be deduced. A match for the data point is searched for in the contacts list in the device, and when found, the name corresponding to the contact entry, in which the data point has been found, is used to derive the device name. The derived device name (or information from which the device name may be derived) may be transmitted to a remote server which may be used for managing multiple such devices.
