Publication number: 20180158003Abstract: Information from a business application system, such as an ERP system, may be published to a business application user-generated web page for display to an end user and for collecting information from an end user to make available for download into the business application system. The user-generated web page may be defined as a web-based visual representation of a structured data solution, which may define data, data presentation, and data binding metadata for enabling a solution scenario, such as vendor enrollment, sourcing, time entry, job listings, vendor-managed inventory, sales lead capture, purchase order/invoicing, service contract renewal, and customer support requests, and the like. Business application users may be enabled to connect with potential and existing customers, partners, and vendors from within the business application system via the web-based visual representation, and additionally, may capture interactions directly into the business application system without IT dependency.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2017Publication date: June 7, 2018Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Dipanjan Ghosh, Ashvin J.

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: 7761503Abstract: A client in a plurality of clients with a same network address or similar common identifier is designated a Peer Distribution Point (PDP) agent for distributing a software application divided into several packages to the plurality of clients. The plurality of clients are part of a client-server hierarchical system comprising a Central SMS site server and several Distributing servers. The Central SMS site server generates policies for the packages that are pushed to a Distribution server assigned to the plurality of clients from where the PDP agent pulls the policies. The Central SMS site server generates the packages that are pushed to the Distributing server after the PDP agent pulls the policies. The packages are pulled by the PDP agent from the Distributing server. The other clients pull the packages from the PDP agent as and when needed.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2006Date of Patent: July 20, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Gaurav R Dhawan, David C James, Nirupama Chandrasekaran, Rajagopalan Badri Narayanan, Ingo R.

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: 7600123Abstract: Techniques for registering certificates after the issuance of the certificates are provided. A service provider securely registers a client's identity and its certificate without depending on or using an existing basis of trust, such as that provided by domain-joined clients or a security directory (e.g., MICROSOFT's ACTIVE DIRECTORY). The service provider provides services, such as, by way of example and not a limitation, email services, web application services, application services, etc., based on identifiers (e.g., service IDs) issued to registered clients. The service provider subsequently uses the issued identifier to authenticate a client requesting a service or services, and to authorize the client to receive the requested service or services.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2005Date of Patent: October 6, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Gopal Parupudi, Prabhu Dutt Padhi, Rajagopalan Badri Narayanan, Ram P.

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
