Patent number: 9143360Abstract: A method, system, and architecture for managing computer systems is provided. A management system employs management objects (MOs) to provide administrators the ability to intuitively express the administrative intent in an information technology (IT) environment, and to act out the administrative intent based on the information gathered by the management system. Managed elements of an IT environment, such as, by way of example, hardware components, software applications, software updates, software distribution policies, configurations, settings, etc., may be expressed as MOs. Actions, such as, by way of example, detect, install/apply, remove, remediate, enumerate, etc., may be associated with the MOs. The management system manages the computer systems by deploying the appropriate MOs and their associated actions onto the computer systems, and performing the actions on the computer systems.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2011Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Bruce W. Copeland, David C. James, Donald Y. Song, Dustin M. Ingalls, Jeffrey A. Sutherland, Jeffry B. Phillips, Joseph S. Calabig, Khuzaima Iqbal, Michael J.

Patent number: 7689676Abstract: In accordance with certain aspects of the model-based policy application, each of a plurality of policies is associated with appropriate parts of a model of a heterogeneous system. A deployment agent is invoked to apply each of the plurality of policies to components associated with the parts of the model. An identification of a change to one of the plurality of policies is received, and the deployment agent is also invoked to apply the changed policy to selected ones of the components associated with the parts of the model.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2007Date of Patent: March 30, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Anders B.

Patent number: 7600021Abstract: The disclosed arrangements and procedures replicate source files across networked resources. Specifically, a server receives a package update notification corresponding to a difference between a previous set of source files and one or more new sets of source files. Responsive to receiving the package update notification, a delta set of source files that correspond to the difference are identified. A set of source and/or distribution servers in an enterprise network that are configured for delta replication is determined. The identified delta set of source files is communicated to the determined source and/or distribution servers.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2002Date of Patent: October 6, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Paul Joseph Lyman Schottland, Gaurav Raghu Dhawan, David C. James, Rajagopalan Badri Narayanan, Martin Napier Dey, Daniel Nicholas Joseph Drew, Doyle S. Cronk, Zhengkai Kenneth Pan, Bruce W. Copeland

Publication number: 20030229501Abstract: The following described implementations provide for efficient distribution of policy. Specifically, a policy is generated that includes an action to be applied to a resource. A policy assignment is created in association with but separate from the policy. The policy assignment includes a reference to the policy, as well as criteria for a client to determine appropriateness of subsequent access to the policy to apply the action to the resource.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2002Publication date: December 11, 2003Inventors: Bruce Wayne Copeland, Daniel Nicholas Joseph Drew, John Leo Ellis, Kenneth Mark Osborne, Zhengkai Kenneth Pan, Gopal Parupudi, Russell Todd Wilson
