Various examples for providing an enrollment barcode to a staging client are provided. Enrollment data can be provided to a barcode service, which generates an enrollment barcode. Interpreting the enrollment barcode by a client device causes a management component installed on the client device to authenticate to a management service using a staging credential encrypted or secured in the enrollment barcode, and causes the enrollment of the client device with the management service.

Barcode-based enrollment of devices with a management service

A network environment is described for securely storing data for anonymized contact tracing while an application is executing in a background state. An application can receive a message containing data while the application is executing in a background state. The data is encrypted using a public key. Next, the application can store the encrypted data in an alternate data store. Subsequently, and upon user authentication, the application can decrypt a secure data store decrypt the encrypted data. The application can then store the decrypted data in the decrypted secure data store. The application can receive user input indicating a positive test result for a communicable disease with an incubation period, and anonymously upload the data stripped of any uniquely identifying information.

Secure data storage for anonymized contact tracing

Disclosed are examples relating to managing remote support sessions using devices in communication through a network. In some examples, a request is obtained that includes a selection of an endpoint device for remote support. A sample associated with a remoting capability is obtained from the endpoint device. A remote support server can be selected from among multiple remote support servers based on the sample. Examples of causing the endpoint device to communicate with the remote support server are also disclosed.

Managing remote support

Disclosed are examples relating to managing remote support sessions using devices in communication through a network. In some examples, a request to initiate a remote support session is obtained. The request includes a selection of an endpoint. A determination of the remoting capability of the endpoint is performed. A remote support server is selected. Progress of initiation of a remote support session is rendered in a user interface. A user interface element is rendered within the user interface. The user interface element allows launching of a remote support session.

Various examples for providing an enrollment barcode to a staging client are provided. Enrollment data can be provided to a barcode service, which generates an enrollment barcode. The enrollment barcode contains data necessary to complete setup and enrollment of the client device with a management service.
