Abstract:

Disclosed are various embodiments for recognizing state changes in client devices and managing the state of client devices using device-driven management workflows. A computing device can receive a state of a client device. The computing device can then determine if the received state matches an expected, compliant state of the client device. When the computing device determines that the received state does not match the expected state, the computing device can identify a remedial workflow that would bring the client device into compliance. The computing device can send the remedial workflow and an instruction to run the remedial workflow to the client device.

International Classification:

H04L 12/24
H04L 29/06

Abstract:

Examples of device-driven management are described. A management service can transmit a device-driven management workflow to a number of client devices. The device-driven management workflow can include workflow objects that define a branching sequence of instructions. The client devices can provide a corresponding plurality of completion statuses for a step of the device-driven management workflow. The management service can identify a failure of the step according to a set of failure rules, and visually emphasize the failure within a representation of the device-driven management workflow.

Abstract:

Disclosed are various embodiments for managing the state of client devices using device-driven management workflows. A computing device can be evaluated to determine the current state of the computing device. Then, the current state of the computing device is compared to an expected state of the computing device. The expected state of the computing device may be based at least in part on a result of execution of at least one device-driven management workflow by the computing device. In response to a determination that the current state of the computing device fails to match the expected state of the computing device, the device-driven management workflow can be executed to resolve the discrepancy between the expected state and the current state.
