Abstract:
Various examples for providing execution of both a first management application and a second management application on a client device are provided. In one example, a client device can be configured to identify that a first management application, such as a legacy management application, installed on the client device has management privileges with an operating system of the client device. As the first management application is configured to generate a terminate command in response to detection of the second management application, the terminate command can be intercepted prior to a receipt of the terminate command by the operating system. As a result, the operating system does not terminate execution of the second management application on the client device, thereby allowing both the first management application and the second management application to co-exist on the client device.
