Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing unified device management using a unified device management engine of a device management system are described. Device management refers to administering, controlling, and maintaining various types of computing devices. The unified device management engine provides a unified policy object that supports unified management of a remote client and a local client using a unified policy. A unified policy object for a remote client and a local client is configured. The unified policy object is a combined management configuration that enables enforcement of a unified policy on both the remote client and the local client. The unified policy is communicated to the remote client. Unified device management data associated with the unified policy, the remote client, and the local client is generated. The unified device management data is communicated to cause display of the unified device management data on a device management interface.
