Examples of enterprise management using managed virtual machines for virtualized applications are described. In some examples, a managed virtual machine is executed on a host device and enrolled with a management service. A virtualized application drive is stored in the managed virtual machine. A launch agent executed within the managed virtual machine detects an application access request corresponding to user interaction with a host operating system of the host device. The application volumes launch agent accesses the virtualized application drive and launches the virtualized application corresponding to the application access request.

Virtualized applications on managed virtual machines

Disclosed are various embodiments for provisioning client devices. An enterprise credential can be obtained from a provisioning service. A client device can send an enrollment request to a management service specific to the enterprise associated with the client device. The management service can send an enrollment response to the client device. Then, the client device can receive a provisioning package from the management service. Next, the computing device can then be configured based upon the enrollment response.

Connected provisioning

Examples of enterprise management using managed virtual machines are described. A host user context configuration can be received from a host management agent. The host user context configuration can include one or more policies. A managed virtual machine user context configuration can be received from a guest management agent within a managed virtual machine. A portion of the host user context configuration can be processed using a translation matrix to identify a configuration service provider (CSP)-based profile that is mapped to a policy from the host user context configuration. A command to enforce the CSP-based profile on the managed virtual machine can be transmitted.

Transition to modern management using managed virtual machines

Various examples for discovering policy bindings between group policy rules in a legacy management framework and unified endpoint management rules that are utilized in a modern mobile device management (MDM) device management framework. A configuration state view can allow an administrator to understand inconsistencies or conflicts between group policy rules and UEM rules.

Configuration management for co-management

Examples of enterprise management using managed virtual machines are described. Virtual machine files can be extracted from a virtual machine package and stored on a host device. The virtual machine files can include a managed virtual machine configuration file, an NVRAM file, and a virtual disk file, as well as other files. A digital signature of the managed virtual machine package can be verified. The digital signature can be based on the managed virtual machine configuration file, the NVRAM file, and a virtual disk file. The managed virtual machine can be added to a virtual machine inventory of the host desktop hypervisor and executed.

Managed virtual machines

Methods and systems for bound based contextual zoom are disclosed. Legacy WINDOWS desktop and web applications were designed for a mouse or other high-precision pointing device, and as such, small controls and closely grouped controls/icons were commonly designed/used on the screen. Interacting with such applications remoted to a touch-based device (e.g., a smartphone or tablet) is difficult. Bound based contextual zoom overcomes at least some of these limitations by permitting a user to zoom in on an area of interest within an application or desktop, and for a period of time long enough to complete the touch interaction. The area zoomed might be a group of controls on a ribbon bar, the minimize/maximize/close buttons in the top-right corner of a window, a group of form input controls, or any other natural cluster of related user interface (UI) elements. The size of the area zoomed and the zoom factor applied are calculated to allow a user to complete their task without overly obscuring the rest of the application/desktop.

Bound based contextual zoom

Disclosed are various embodiments for provisioning client devices. A configuration file previously installed on the computing device can be read. The configuration file can contain a provisioning address. Then, a user account is automatically created using a predefined username and credential stored in the configuration file. Next, an enrollment request can be sent to the provisioning address to enroll the computing device with a provisioning service using the user account. In response, an enrollment response can be received from the provisioning service. The computing device can then be configured based upon the enrollment response.

Embodiments described herein are related to performing virtual application delivery. In some embodiments, a method includes accessing, at a computing device, a datastore comprising a first virtual disk file mapped to a plurality of virtual disk files separate from the first virtual disk file, wherein each of the plurality of virtual disk files comprises at least one application stored thereon. The method further includes receiving, at the computing device, one or more operations for accessing the first virtual disk file, the one or more operations corresponding to a first application stored on a second virtual disk file of the plurality of virtual disk files. The method further includes redirecting the one or more operations for accessing the first virtual disk file to the second virtual disk file.

Virtual application delivery using synthetic block devices

Environments are disclosed in which a server executes an application on behalf of a client device and, in particular, to providing responsive scrolling in server-hosted applications. In one example, a remote computing device may be a mobile (or stationary) computing device with (or without) a touch screen input surface. Some or all of the client-server communication between a client-side scrollable UI control module of the remote computing device and a server-side scrollable UI control module of the server device may occur in an asynchronous manner.

Responsive scroller controls in server-hosted applications

A method for using standards-based functionality to provide unified management for a plurality of remote desktop sessions includes executing an enhanced management access point on a first physical machine. The method includes monitoring a plurality of desktop sessions including a desktop session executing on one of a second physical machine and a virtual machine executing on the second physical machine. The desktop session provides access to at least one application or file. The method includes determining a first level of activity of the desktop session. A level of activity may be one of: active, inactive, hibernating and standby. The method includes receiving a notification of a migration of the desktop session to a third physical machine, the migrated desktop session maintaining the first level of activity. The method includes instructing a management component on the third physical machine to modify the migrated desktop session to a second level of activity.

Unified out of band management system for desktop and server sessions

Methods and systems for reviewing previously recorded and real-time user session data of presentation layer protocol data. Methods describing a shadowing tool receiving a streaming real-time presentation layer protocol data stream from a shadowing agent service executing on a server; receiving a recorded presentation layer protocol data stream from the shadowing agent service; and combining the streaming real-time presentation layer protocol data stream and the recorded presentation layer protocol data stream producing a single output stream. Systems describing a shadowing tool executing on a computing device receiving a streaming real-time presentation layer protocol data stream from a shadowing agent service executing on a server; the shadowing tool receiving a recorded presentation layer protocol data stream from the shadowing agent service; and the shadowing tool combining the streaming real-time presentation layer protocol data stream and the recorded presentation layer protocol data stream producing a single output stream.
