Abstract: Systems and methods for redirecting one or more printers from a virtual computing device to a physical computing device. The method includes initiating a printing application on a virtual computing device and exporting at least one printer configuration. The at least one printer configuration corresponds to one or more printers communicatively coupled to a physical computing device. The method also includes storing the at least one printer configuration to a data file on the virtual computing device and copying the data file from the virtual computing device to the physical computing device. The method further includes invoking the data file on the physical computing device such that the at least one printer configuration is imported on the physical computing device. The method also includes generating for display on the virtual computing device at least one indication of the one or more printers communicatively coupled to the physical computing device.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for automated management of scheduling a computer hardware reboot. A computing device detects a user login request. The computing device launches a hosted virtual desktop application for display on a display device coupled to the computing device. The computing device determines that a reboot of the computing device is required, including identifying that one or more software application updates have been applied to the computing device during a period of time prior to detecting the user login request. The computing device generates a reboot notification window that is displayed on top of the hosted virtual desktop application. The computing device receives instructions via the reboot notification window to execute a scheduled reboot of the computing device. The computing device executes the scheduled reboot of the computing device at a time defined in the received instructions.
