摘要:
A method for managing a session between a local computing device and a remote computing device, in which a session is established between a local computing device and a remote computing device, a lock session signal is transmitted from the remote computing device to the local computing device, a lock session signal is received at the local computing device, and the session is locked, at the local computing device. Furthermore, the user is prompted for identification information at the remote computing device, and the identification information is transmitted from the remote computing device to the local computing device. Moreover, the identification information is received at the local computing device, the identification information is authenticated at the local computing device, and the session is unlocked, at the local computing device.

Examples of methods and apparatus are provided for comparing and provisioning configurations for a local client having a windows-based embedded image. The apparatus may include a retrieval module of the local client configured to facilitate locating a remote repository server containing a new configuration file, to facilitate obtaining the new configuration file from the remote repository server, and to facilitate obtaining a previous configuration file associated with a previous configuration change successfully applied to the embedded image. The apparatus may include a configuration comparison module of the local client configured to compare the new configuration file with the previous configuration file. The apparatus may include an apply settings module of the local client configured to apply, to the embedded image, one of a new configuration change and the previous configuration change based on the comparison. The new configuration change may be based on the new configuration file.

Examples of methods and apparatus are provided for state-based provisioning of a local client having a windows-based embedded image. The apparatus may include a retrieval module of the local client that facilitates locating a remote repository server containing a configuration file and that facilitates obtaining the configuration file from the remote repository server. The apparatus may include a reset check module of the local client that determines whether to reset a previous state of the image based on the configuration file. The apparatus may include an apply settings module of the local client that applies, to the image, one of a first configuration change and a second configuration change based on the determination. The first configuration change may include a configuration update to the previous state of the image. The second configuration change may include a change to the image independent of the previous state of the image.

Restricting access to a device from a server, where the device is remote to the server and is connected locally to a client that is remote to the server, is described. The operations may include facilitating interception, at the server, of a function call to create a symbolic link; facilitating determination that the intercepted function call to create the symbolic link corresponds to a device object associated with the device that is remote to the server and is connected locally to a client that is remote to the server; facilitating obtaining configuration data indicating whether access to the device is to be restricted; and facilitating creation of the symbolic link in a local namespace of an object manager namespace of the server, upon obtaining configuration data indicating that access to the device is to be restricted.
摘要:
The updating of firmware components on a client device is described. Operations may include facilitating parsing of a firmware update configuration file on the client device, wherein the firmware update configuration file identifies an update repository, one or more firmware updates, and update package information for each of the firmware updates; facilitating validation of each firmware update by comparing, for each firmware update, the update package information with information of an update package stored in the update repository; facilitating receiving the update package for each firmware update from the update repository; facilitating performing a backup of firmware components on the client device corresponding to the firmware updates; and facilitating updating of the firmware components using the received update packages.
摘要:
SCSI commands that are not supported by a client terminal can be enabled. In scenarios where the client terminal's operating system may not support the same SCSI commands as the server's operating system, a redirected mass storage device that does support the same SCSI commands as the server's operating system can still be initialized on the server as supporting these SCSI commands. Then, to allow the SCSI commands that are not supported by the client terminal's operating system to be provided to the mass storage device, a client-side proxy can employ a SCSI Pass Through Interface to send the unsupported commands rather than providing them to the client-side disk driver. The proxy may still provide supported SCSI commands to the client-side disk driver for typical handling.

Local network resources can be seamlessly accessed from a remote session. A remoting client that executes on a client terminal and a remoting service that executes in a remote session can each be configured to implement a virtual network pseudo device. These virtual network pseudo devices can be configured to communicate network communications via a virtual channel with the virtual channel endpoints performing any necessary network address translation. As a result, when the remote session host attempts to discover local network resources, the corresponding network communications will be routed over the virtual channel and transmitted over the client's local area network. Any resources on the client's local area network will respond accordingly with this responses being routed back over the virtual channel to the remote session host thus causing the resources to appear as if they were part of the same local area network as the remote session host.

Scanners and printers can be redirected over a WAN in an efficient manner by employing a proxy device. When a client terminal has established a remote display protocol connection with a server over a WAN and attempts to redirect a printer, scanner, or other similar device over the connection, the device can instead be redirected to a proxy device that is on the same LAN as the client terminal. The proxy device can then establish a driver mapping connection with the server for the purpose of sending commands pertaining to the redirected device. In this way, the communications over the WAN will be simpler driver mapping commands rather than numerous USB-based IRPs and will therefore not suffer from the latency of the WAN.

A single user can be provided multiple user profiles. When a user logs in to a computing device, the user can be given the option of selecting one of the multiple user profiles and/or the option to create a new user profile. The user can therefore select a user profile that is most appropriate for a particular situation. By employing a layering system, these multiple user profiles can be provided in various types of virtualization environments and independently of the operating system version.

Applications and users can be restricted from making persistent changes to artifacts on a protected volume. In Windows-based systems that include a file-based write filter, a policy-based write filter can be positioned below the file-based write filter and can examine any write requests that target artifacts of a protected volume and are not redirected by the file-based write filter. The policy-based write filter can examine the write requests against any applicable policies to determine whether the write requests should be allowed to proceed. If the policy-based write filter determines that a write request is not allowed by policy, it can fail the write request to thereby prevent the targeted artifact from being updated in the protected volume.
