Patent number: 11960907Abstract: The devices, systems, and methods described herein enable automatically configuring an electronic device using artificial intelligence (AI). The devices, systems, and methods enable accessing telemetry data representing device usage data, inputting the accessed telemetry data into machine learning models that are matched to device metadata, and determining notifications to publish to components of the electronic device. The notifications represent events predicted to occur on the electronic device. The notifications are published to the components of the electronic device such that the electronic device is configured according to the published notifications. The determined notifications enable the identification of optimal settings for the electronic device based on the usage pattern of the device and enable components of the electronic device to preemptively take action on events which are predicted to occur in the future.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Chen Liang, Bryston M.

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. Cook

Publication number: 20240064058Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to implementing compliance settings by a computing device for bringing the computing device into compliance with a configuration scenario. For instance, a computing device may receive, from a server, configuration information describing compliance settings for implementing by the computing device to bring the computing device into compliance with a configuration scenario. Moreover, the computing device may identify a state machine indicated by the configuration information that describes a configuration process for implementing the compliance settings and execute the state machine to configure the computing device with the compliance settings.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Peter J. Kaufman, Richard I. June, Moiz Z. Rassiwala, Daniel S. Dudugjian, Shayak Lahiri, Sean A. Bowles, Yuhang Zhu, Adeep Singh Cheema, Rama Krishna Samudrala, Jitendrakumar G. Koshti, Gaurav Raghu Dhawan

Publication number: 20230421616Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to managing device compliance for devices that are connected to an enterprise network. For example, a mobile device manager may provide configuration settings to a computing device, which implements the settings in order to be compliant with an enterprise's data and/or security policy. The mobile device manager also maintains a local reference of each device's configuration settings implemented thereby. When the mobile device manager subsequently performs a determination as to whether the computing device is still in compliance, the mobile device manager simply needs to refer to the local reference to determine the computing device's settings instead of explicitly querying the computing device for its settings.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Shayak Lahiri, Richard I.

Publication number: 20230396497Abstract: This document relates to a process for supporting the management of a variety of types of deployed devices. Administrators utilizing enterprise services can provide generic configuration data using configuration templates, which can be provided to a management server. The management server can then precompute device-specific configuration settings and resolve any conflicts that may arise based on the configuration templates. The configuration templates can also include placeholders for secret values, and once a managed device checks in to the management server, the secret values can be retrieved from an applicable enterprise service and provided to the managed device at the time of applying the configuration template.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Peter John Richards, Sean Anderson Bowles, Haipeng Li, Peter J. Kaufman, Shayak Lahiri, Brian Stuart Perlman, Venkata Raghuram Pampana, Dhruma Kishan Parikh, Manoj Jain

Publication number: 20230239199Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to configuring managed computing devices utilizing containerized applications. For instance, a mobile device manager may provide configuration settings to a computing device via, for example, an enterprise network. A host operating system (OS) executing on the computing device determines and applies the settings that are applicable to the host OS. The configuration settings are stored for configuring containerized applications executing on the computing device. For instance, as new containerized applications are launched by the host OS, the containerized applications retrieve the configuration settings and determine and apply the settings that are applicable to the containerized applications. Results of applying the configuration settings to the host OS and the containerized applications are merged and sent to the mobile device manager.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2023Publication date: July 27, 2023Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Peter J.

Patent number: 11360788Abstract: A configuration control transfer (“CCT”) system controls the transferring of control of configuration information of a device from a current configuration source to a target configuration source. A CCT server of the CCT system may send a request for the configuration information of the device where the configuration information of the device currently under control of the at least one first configuration source. The CCT server may also receive the requested configuration information, determine whether the second configuration source is able to support the configuration information of the first configuration source, and based at least on a determination that the second configuration source is able to support the configuration information, request that the device transfer control of the configuration information from the first configuration source to the second configuration source to unenroll the device with the first configuration source and enroll the device with the second configuration source.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2020Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Tanvir Ahmed, Peter J.
