Abstract: A policy manager running on a client device receives policy data from a domain controller comprising a directory server and a file server. The client device runs an operating system that does not natively support policy retrieval from the directory server and file server. The policy manager identifies a policy type of the received policy data and identifies a policy processing plug-in associated with the identified policy type. The policy processing plug-in is connected to the operating system on the client device through a plug-in interface. The policy manager provides the received policy data to the identified policy processing plug-in for processing.

Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed, including in response to a request to upgrade software stored in a file system, creating, by a processing device, a first snapshot of a file system, responsive to receiving a rollback request, creating a second snapshot of the file system, and rolling back the file system using the first snapshot.

Abstract: Systems and methods for configuring managed systems using abstracted functions. An example method may include: receiving a command corresponding to one or more instructions in a defined protocol, the instructions being directed to a first system and a second system, processing the command to generate the instructions, configuring a first instance of the one or more instructions with respect to the first system, configuring a second instance of the one or more instructions with respect to the second system, determining, with the processing device, an execution efficiency metric with respect to the first instance of the one or more instructions and the second instance of the one or more instructions, and providing, in view of the execution efficiency metric, at least one of the first instance of the one or more instructions to the first system or the second instance of the one or more instructions to the second system.
