A method and system for managing Windows desktops in a heterogeneous server environment is provided. A Windows User Profile is generated for a user and associatively stored with desktop information in a datastore on a heterogeneous server. The heterogeneous server may be a non-Windows-based server. The desktop information provides configurability of a desktop of a Windows-based data processing system. The desktop may be a restricted desktop that may be either non-modifiable or only temporarily modifiable by the user for a session on the Windows-based data processing system. The datastore may contain a pair of desktops for a user, in which one of the pair of desktops is a Windows NT desktop and one of the pair of desktops is a Windows 95 desktop or a Windows 98 desktop.

A system and method for effectively synchronizing data in an object oriented distributed transaction processing system employing a multilevel data store. Each object that maintains first-level volatile data registers as a synchronization object if unsynchronized changes to that data exist. A register object at each node tracks synchronized objects registered for that node. Each registered synchronization object, in turn, registers with its superior node when registered synchronization objects are present. A hierarchy of registered synchronization objects and synchronization objects is thereby created. The transaction termination process transmits a pre-prepare message to the registered synchronization hierarchy providing each synchronization object an opportunity to flush its data to the second-level persistent data store. The hierarchical structure of registered objects ensures that the minimum number of messages are transmitted over the network.
摘要:
A method of discovering native or non-native authentication server domains and managing information about such domains in a computer network. The various domains are “discovered” by issuing requests from the client to one or more of the servers in the network. Each response is then characterized as being from a native or non-native server, and a list of each such server type is then compiled at the client. The administrator may modify the list, for example, by adding or removing server domains, or may apply a discovery “policy” to tailor the way in which a user may access and interact with the discovered information.

A method and apparatus in a data processing system for managing registries. A user is detected at a client data processing system, wherein a change has occurred in access for the user. A registry file is sent containing user specific information for the user to the client data processing system. A registry on the client data processing system is updated using the registry file using commands specific to the platform, wherein an updated registry is created including the user specific information. The updated registry is sent to a depository.

A method of managing a Windows NT user account at a Windows NT client begins following authentication of a user against a non-native server domain by establishing a Windows NT user account at the client. The Windows NT user account is maintained as work is done at the client by the user. At user logoff, the user account is maintained, disabled or deleted based on policy set on the client by an administrator.

A system, method and article of manufacture for automatically inserting concurrency object services into binary classes in an information handling system employing object oriented technology, includes the steps of recognizing a constraint indicating that an object does not support concurrency and generating a concurrent version of the object. One alternative for generating a version of an object supporting concurrency is automatic transactional locking. The approach includes the steps of inheriting from the Lockable class which adds state to a class to allow object-level locking, inheriting from the Serialised metaclass which adds before and after methods to all methods of the non-concurrent version, and the object must be a RecoverableObject. Another alternative for generating a version of an object supporting concurrency is automatic per method locking. The approach includes the steps of inheriting from the Lockable class which adds state to a class, and inheriting from the Serialised metaclass which adds before and after methods to all methods of the non-concurrent version. Another alternative for generating a version of an object supporting concurrency is explicit locking. The approach for RecoverableObjects includes the step of inheriting from a ConcurrentObject (which is derived from the Lockable class). The approach for non-RecoverableObjects also includes the step of inheriting from a ConcurrentObject.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for distributing system files and system registry changes dynamically. An “application package” consisting of system files and registry changes is added to a user. When the user logs on, the detection of a “package” is made if the package is not already installed on the client machine, a batch file is used to copy the files and make the registry changes to the local machine. A “key” is then set on the machine indicating that the files/registry entries are installed.
摘要:
A system and method for efficiently employing procedural transaction managers from an object oriented transaction processing system. Implementation classes are introduced to bridge selected functions from an object oriented transaction processing system into a procedural system. Bridging allows both the reuse of existing procedural transaction managers and interoperation between procedural and object transactions systems which eases migration to new object oriented systems. Implementation classes include methods necessary to manage information necessary to use a procedural transaction API and to manage information returned by the procedural API.
摘要:
A method for creating and updating user accounts at a central server that provides for establishment and synchronization of associated user accounts at a heterogeneous network of managed servers based on the user account information of the central server. This enables the network to consist of a heterogeneous set of servers that are executing with the same operating system or subsystem as the central server, and servers that are executing with a different operating system or subsystem as the central server. The updates to the user accounts on the managed servers are synchronized automatically without systems administrator or user intervention. Updates to the user account are based on central server information and can include password changes, initial resource access or other user account attributes.
