  • Publication number: 20220277071
    Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for enforcing policies for unmanaged applications. A user supplied script can be evaluated to determine whether an application is installed on a computing device. In response to a determination that the application is installed on the computing device, a request can be sent to a management service for at least one policy applicable to the application. The policy can be evaluated to determine whether the application complies with the policy.

  • Patent number: 11263021
    Abstract: Examples described here include systems and methods for refreshing the operating system (“OS”) of a device enrolled in a management platform. Execution of a first command file ensures that necessary components of the management platform residing on the device are stored in a partitioned portion of the device hard drive to preserve them during the OS refresh. After a new instance of the OS has been installed, execution of a second command file migrates the necessary components from the partitioned portion of the hard drive to the new OS instance. When the user logs back into the refreshed device, a third command file installs all necessary device management components at the new OS instance and re-enrolls the device with the management platform. In this manner, the OS of a managed device can be refreshed and re-enrolled in the management platform without significant input from a user or administrator.
