  • Publication number: 20230188423
    Abstract: Various examples for discovering policy bindings between group policy rules in a legacy management framework and unified endpoint management rules that are utilized in a modern mobile device management (MDM) device management framework. A configuration state view can allow an administrator to understand inconsistencies or conflicts between group policy rules and UEM rules.

  • Publication number: 20220350631
    Abstract: Examples of enterprise management using managed virtual machines are described. A host user context configuration can be received from a host management agent. The host user context configuration can include one or more policies. A managed virtual machine user context configuration can be received from a guest management agent within a managed virtual machine. A portion of the host user context configuration can be processed using a translation matrix to identify a configuration service provider (CSP)-based profile that is mapped to a policy from the host user context configuration. A command to enforce the CSP-based profile on the managed virtual machine can be transmitted.

  • Publication number: 20220350630
    Abstract: Examples of enterprise management using managed virtual machines (VMs) are described. In one example, a virtual machine base image is validated to comply with a plurality of managed virtual machine packaging rules of a management service. Managed virtual machine configuration parameters are written to a managed virtual machine configuration file of a managed virtual machine. The managed virtual machine includes a management component that implements instructions from a management service. A managed virtual machine package file is generated to include the managed virtual machine configuration file and enterprise-specific enterprise resources identified from the management service based on the enterprise identifier.

  • Publication number: 20220350629
    Abstract: Examples of enterprise management using managed virtual machines are described. A guest management agent executed within a managed virtual machine receives a command to update a user context configuration of the managed virtual machine from a management service. The command to update the user context configuration of the managed virtual machine is transferred through an inter-process communication (IPC) channel from the guest management agent within the managed virtual machine to a host management agent executed on the host device outside the managed virtual machine. The command to update the user context configuration of the managed virtual machine is implemented using a host desktop hypervisor.

  • Publication number: 20220350628
    Abstract: Examples of enterprise management using managed virtual machines are described. Virtual machine files can be extracted from a virtual machine package and stored on a host device. The virtual machine files can include a managed virtual machine configuration file, an NVRAM file, and a virtual disk file, as well as other files. A digital signature of the managed virtual machine package can be verified. The digital signature can be based on the managed virtual machine configuration file, the NVRAM file, and a virtual disk file. The managed virtual machine can be added to a virtual machine inventory of the host desktop hypervisor and executed.
