The disclosure relates to detecting vulnerabilities in managed client devices. A system determines whether a vulnerability scan of a computing device is required to be performed. The system installs a vulnerability detection component in the computing device in response to determining that the vulnerability scan is required to be performed. The system requests the vulnerability detection component to perform the vulnerability scan of the computing device. The system transmits a result of the vulnerability scan to a remote management service for the computing device.

Detecting vulnerabilities in managed client devices

Various examples are described for operating system update management. In some examples, an OS update schedule is generated. The OS update schedule specifies an OS update for a plurality of client devices. A command to deploy the OS update is transmitted to a subset of the client devices. Update behavior data is received from the client devices that have applied the OS update. An analysis of the update behavior data correlates an update incompatibility with the OS update. The OS update is prevented from being deployed to additional client devices specified in the OS update schedule.

Operating system update management

Various examples relate to the configuration of enterprise workspaces that can be provided in computing devices. In some examples, a computing device is enrolled with a management service that controls operation of at least a portion of the computing device. A management component creates a user account with a distributor of the operating system based on an email address. The management component requests an authentication service to authenticate a user. The user account is associated with an enterprise workspace of the computing device.

Associating user accounts with enterprise workspaces

Disclosed are various examples for provisioning a client device through near-field communication (NFC). An administrator device can provide configuration parameters to a client device in a factory-reset condition through an NFC bump. A second NFC bump can be performed that provides enrollment parameters to the client device, after which the client device can complete enrollment with an enterprise mobility management (EMM) service.

Provisioning devices using near-field communication

Various examples relate to the configuration of enterprise workspaces that can be provided in computing devices. In some examples, a computing device is enrolled with a management service that controls operating of at least a portion of the computing device. A management component creates a user account with a distributor of the operating system based on an email address and a password. The user account is associated with an enterprise workspace of the computing device.

Configuring enterprise workspaces

Disclosed are various examples for deploying applications on client devices through a management service. A client device can be enrolled with a management service. The management service can determine application settings that are associated with an application and generate an application profile for the application. The application profile can be used to deploy the application to client devices and provision the application with the appropriate application settings.

Provisioning of applications deployed on client devices

Various examples relate to detecting vulnerabilities in managed client devices. In some examples, a system determines whether a vulnerability scan of a computing device is required to be performed. The system installs a vulnerability detection component in the computing device in response to determining that the vulnerability scan is required to be performed. The system requests the vulnerability detection component to perform the vulnerability scan of the computing device. The system transmits a result of the vulnerability scan to a remote management service for the computing device.
