Methods, apparatus, and computer readable media are described herein for allowing a first user to interface with an automated assistant to assign tasks to additional user(s), and/or for causing notification(s) of the assigned task to be rendered to the additional user(s) via corresponding automated assistant interface(s). In various implementations, one or more criteria can be utilized in selecting a group of client device(s), linked to the additional user, via which to provide the notification(s) for the task assigned to the additional user. Also, in various implementations condition(s) for providing the notification(s) for the task can be determined, and the notification(s) provided based on determining satisfaction of the condition(s).

Providing access to user-controlled resources by automated assistants

Systems and methods to determine the status of transmitted audio packets. The audio packets can include digital components that are presented by a client computing device. Based on presentation variables and determinations of presentation status, the system can generate a predictive model that can be used to dynamically determines presentation values of audio packets prior to their transmission to a client computing device.

Audio data packet status determination

Methods for scheduling data download requests for a device are provided. In one aspect, a method includes assigning to a device a first wait period of a random length below a first pre-determined maximum value, and receiving a notification that data is available for download to the device. The method also includes determining whether an amount of time elapsed since the data was made available for download to the device exceeds the first wait period, and when the determination indicates that the amount of time elapsed since the data was made available for download exceeds the first wait period, downloading the data available for the device. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

Automatic update distribution for managed devices

Systems and methods for installing policy settings on a client computing device are provided. In some aspects, the client computing device receives policy data and a public key from a server. The policy data are authenticated based on the public key. Policy settings based on the authenticated policy data are installed on the client computing device. Installing the policy settings based on the authenticated policy data on the client computing device includes storing information based on the policy data in a module on the client computing device. The module is secured by the public key from the server and a signature generated on the client computing device to prevent the stored information from being moved or copied by a user of the client computing device.

Configuring policy settings on client computing devices

A system and a method for registering an electronic device are provided. An auto-enrollment status of an electronic device by an enterprise is determined based on hash information associated with an identifier for the electronic device. In a case where the auto-enrollment status of the electronic device is determined to require auto-enrollment of the electronic device by the enterprise, one or more configuration settings for the electronic device as designated by the enterprise are identified, and the electronic device is requested to adopt the one or more configuration settings as designated by the enterprise in response to providing the auto-enrollment login interface to the electronic device.

System and method for registering an electronic device

A system for detecting external software update failure of an application may receive a request at the application to determine the status of an update mechanism and infrastructure ('updater') associated with the application. The system may determine one or more values written by the updater at a location accessible by the application. The one or more values may include one or more of a first value indicating when a last successful check for updates for the application was completed by the updater and a second value indicating when a last successful update for the application was completed. The system may determine, at the application and based on the one or more values, if an update failure has occurred at the updater. The update failure may include the updater having problems detecting or applying updates. The system may generate a notification when it determines that an update failure has occurred.

Detecting external software update failure of local application

Systems and methods for configuring browser policy settings on client computing devices are provided. In some aspects, a method includes receiving login credentials from a client computing device. The client computing device includes a browser. The method also includes transmitting browser policy data associated with the login credentials to the client computing device. The browser policy data identifies browser policy settings to be installed on the browser. The browser policy settings identified by the browser policy data include four or more of: compliance settings, behavioral settings, browser/software applications, permission to access one or more websites, restrictions on accessing one or more websites, read permission in a remote document storage unit accessible via the browser, or write permission in a remote document storage unit accessible via the browser.

Configuring browser policy settings on client computing devices

Systems and methods for configuring policy settings on client computing devices are provided. In some aspects, a method includes transmitting login credentials to one or more server machines. The method also includes receiving, on the client computing device, policy data and a public key from the one or more server machines in response to the login credentials. The method also includes authenticating the policy data based on the public key. The method also includes automatically installing policy settings based on the authenticated policy data on the client computing device. The policy settings identified by the policy data include four or more of: compliance settings, behavioral settings, software applications, permission to access one or more websites, restrictions on accessing one or more websites, read permission in a remote document storage unit, or write permission in a remote document storage unit.
