    Abstract: Various examples for providing a dynamic runtime interface for device management are described. In one example, a computing environment can access metadata that describes a configuration of a user interface made in a profile template designer application. The computing environment can identify a request for a profile creator that provides at least one setting for a desired configuration of a client device enrolled with a management service, and, in response to the request being identified, dynamically generate the user interface using the metadata, where the user interface includes a configured to receive the at least one setting for the desired configuration of the client device. The computing environment can generate a configuration profile accessible by the client device that causes an agent application executable on the client device to configure the client device in accordance with the configuration profile.

    Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches to automate vulnerability assessment implement policy-based mitigation. A plurality of vulnerability records from respective ones of a plurality of vulnerability feeds are aggregated. Each of the plurality of vulnerability records are stored in a standardized format. A plurality of enterprise-specific severity scores are generated by calculating an enterprise-specific severity score for each of the plurality of vulnerability records. Then, a web page can be created that includes at least a subset of the plurality of enterprise-specific severity scores and respective ones of the plurality of vulnerability records.

    Abstract: Operating system update management for enrolled devices is disclosed according to various examples. In one example, a computing environment can receive an identifier from at least one of a multitude of client devices enrolled with a management service, where the identifier is indicative of a software update available for the at least one of the plurality of client devices. The computing environment can query a service using the identifier to identify information pertaining to the software update and cause a display of the information in at least one user interface. In response to a specification of a subset of the client devices being received, for example, by an administrator, the computing environment can cause the subset of the plurality of client devices to perform an installation of the software update.

    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.

    Abstract: Disclosed are various examples of transmitting management commands to a device using a short message service (SMS) message or voice call. A device may lack network connectivity with a management service. Network capabilities of the device may be disabled or impaired. The management service can generate a SMS message or voice call that includes the management command. The SMS message or voice call can be transmitted to the client device over a cellular network. The SMS message or voice call can include an authentication string with which the authenticity of the SMS message or voice call can be verified. The device can then execute the management command.

    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 a base operating system (OS) image to boot, and the location of a pre-enrollment installer for installing the base OS image. The pre-enrollment installer can download the base OS image in one or more pieces from multiple locations. This can include base OS images related to enterprise management and company-specific applications and drivers. Once the pre-enrollment OS has combined the base OS images, the computing device reboots using the combined image.
