    Abstract: Systems and methods are included for causing a computing device to assemble and boot from a managed operating system. When the computing device is powered on, it can execute firmware that specifies a server to contact. The server can identify an operating system (OS) to boot, and the location of a pre-enrollment installer for assembling the OS image. The pre-enrollment installer can download base OS images in one or more pieces from multiple locations determined based on ownership information of the computing device. The multiple OS images can relate to enterprise management and company-specific applications and drivers. Once the pre-enrollment installer has combined the base OS images, the computing device reboots using the combined OS image.

    Abstract: Files are mirrored between a desktop device and a mobile device in a seamless manner so that a user may work on the mirrored files on either device without having to save or send files beforehand. The user may interact with a mirrored file on a desktop, physically leave the desktop, and take a mobile device that has the mirrored file with him or her and continue interacting with the file.

    Abstract translation: 文件以无缝的方式在桌面设备和移动设备之间镜像,以便用户可以在任一设备上处理镜像文件,而无需事先保存或发送文件。 用户可以与桌面上的镜像文件进行交互,物理离开桌面,并携带带有镜像文件的移动设备,并继续与文件进行交互。

    Abstract: Documents or other files opened on a remote desktop are mirrored onto a mobile client device that allows a user to seamlessly work on such documents or files in either a stationary or mobile fashion. The mirrored files may be presented to the user on the mobile client device with the capacity for the user to sign his or her name—or otherwise mark—the mirrored document on the client device. Once signed, various techniques are executed that cause the signed version of the mirrored files to be communicated back to the remote desktop where the signed files are saved. Such techniques may operate transparent to a user, eliminating the need for the user to constantly have to save and transport signed files between multiple devices when working on the go.

    Abstract translation: 在远程桌面上打开的文档或其他文件被镜像到移动客户端设备上,允许用户以固定或移动的方式无缝地处理这些文档或文件。 镜像文件可以在移动客户端设备上呈现给用户,用户可以将其姓名或其他方式标记在客户端设备上的镜像文档。 一旦签名,执行各种技术,导致镜像文件的签名版本被传送回保存已签名文件的远程桌面。 这样的技术可以对用户操作透明,消除了用户在旅途中经常需要在多个设备之间保存和传输签名的文件的需要。

    Abstract: User profiles of remote desktops are managed in a crash-consistent manner. When a user logs into a remote desktop, metadata of the user profile is loaded from persistent storage while registry settings and files of the user profile are loaded asynchronously with respect to the login. During the remote desktop session, snapshots of the remote desktop image in persistent storage are generated periodically, and a change log that indicates changes to the user profile is created therefrom. The user profile stored in persistent storage is updated lazily using the change log at opportunistic times after snapshot generation. When the user logs out of the remote desktop, the user profile stored in the persistent storage is updated with any additional changes to the user profile by extracting the changes from the copy-on-write cache associated with the most recent snapshot.

    Abstract: Various examples for performing automated enrollments of client devices with a management service after being accessed by a staging user account are described. A client device can be configured to identify a user account active on the client device and determine whether the user account is a staging user account or an end user account associated with an intended recipient of the client device. In an instance in which the user account is the staging user account, the client device can create an event listener on the client device that monitors a subsequent login of a user account performed through an operating system of the client device, the subsequent login of the user account being the end user account. In an instance in which the subsequent login of the user account is detected by the event listener, the client device can perform an automated enrollment with a remote management service.
