摘要： The description of an update package for updating a software application in an offline synchronization operation is presented. The update package includes update information for a plurality of updates. The update information includes a reference to the update payload and the relationships of the present update to other updates in the update package. A system for updating a software application on a client computer is also presented. An update agent includes a communication module and a media module. The communication module is configured to communicate with both an update source over a communication network, or the media module. The media module obtains update information from computer-readable media. The communication module communicates with the update source or the media module in the same manner.

摘要： A system and method for managing group policy objects in a network, including interfaces that allow access by programs or a user interface component to functions of a group policy management console that performs management tasks on group policy objects and other related objects. The interfaces abstract the underlying data storage and retrieval, thereby facilitating searching for objects, and providing the ability to delegate, view, change and permissions on those objects, and check and save those permissions. Modeling and other test simulations are facilitated by other interfaces. Other interfaces provide dynamic and interactive features, such as to convey progress and rich status messages, and allow canceling of an ongoing operation. Still other interfaces provide methods for operating on group policy related data, including group policy object backup, restore, import, copy and create methods, and methods for linking group policy objects to scope of management objects.

摘要： A system and method comprising a reporting mechanism for outputting an HMTL and XML document from a collection of hierarchically maintained settings such as group policy object settings or resultant set of policy data. The reporting mechanism provides a substantially complete view of which settings are configured (enabled) in a given group policy object, or a view for a resultant set of policy (that is applied to a given SOM), along with the values of the settings. The markup language format enables viewing a flat representation of the settings, and printing, saving and/or transporting of the settings. XML schemas describe a valid representation of group policy settings, and a valid representation of resultant set of policy.

摘要： A system and method for performing various operations on group policy objects, by manipulating group policy objects as a single entity to perform backup, restore, import and copy operations. The backup operation transfers the various subparts of a selected group policy object to a file system. A restore operation restores a backed-up group policy object to its domain, in the same state as when the backup was performed. An import operation transfers the settings within a backed-up source group policy object to a destination group policy object, erasing its previous settings. A copy operation transfers the settings from a source group policy object to a new group policy object. Copy and import operations can be cross-domain, and a migration table can be used to convert security group and UNC pathnames as appropriate for the destination domain. Backup management, rollback of incomplete operations, and support for application deployment are also provided.

摘要翻译： 通过将组策略对象作为单个实体来执行备份，还原，导入和复制操作，对组策略对象执行各种操作的系统和方法。 备份操作将所选组策略对象的各个子部分传输到文件系统。 恢复操作将备份的组策略对象恢复到其域，处于与执行备份时相同的状态。 导入操作将备份的源组策略对象中的设置传输到目标组策略对象，擦除其以前的设置。 复制操作将设置从源组策略对象传输到新的组策略对象。 复制和导入操作可以是跨域的，并且迁移表可用于转换适用于目标域的安全组和UNC路径名。 还提供了备份管理，不完整操作的回滚和应用程序部署的支持。

摘要： Applying policy rules to software installed on a device. A group of devices to receive policy rules for the software is identified. The devices belonging to the specified group is identified. A set of policy rules assigned to the devices in the specified group are identified. The policy rules assigned to the devices are aggregated into one or more policy documents. The one or more policy documents are received. The received policy documents are stored in a data store associated with the device. The set of policy rules specified by the received policy documents are applied to the software. A feedback is provided to the policy authority in response to the applying, and the feedback is indicative of whether the set of policy rules is applied to the software.

摘要： Managing software states using policy rules in a policy document in a distributed network. A policy document is generated and the policy document includes a set of policy rules defining one or more desired configurations of one or more pieces of software on the target devices. Target information is associated with the policy document, and the target information corresponds to a selected set of the target devices and includes information relating to characteristics of the software of the selected set of target devices. The set of policy rules included in the policy document is compared with other policy rules for the software. The policy document is modified as a function of the comparison and conflict resolution preferences. The modified policy document is provided for deployment to the selected set of the target devices.

摘要： A database management tool may migrate a portion of a constrained database by transferring the portion to a constraint-free database from a first constrained database, then populating a second constrained database using the constraint-free data. The constraint-free data may be transformed prior to populating to update internal database identifiers. In some cases, the transformation may also update the data to a different schema of the target database. The database management tool may also include a load balancer that may monitor the loads on a distributed database and may separate portions of the database to different database instances to more effectively load balance the larger database.

摘要翻译： 数据库管理工具可以通过将该部分从第一约束数据库传送到无约束数据库，然后使用无约束数据填充第二约束数据库来迁移约束数据库的一部分。 可以在填充以更新内部数据库标识符之前变换无约束数据。 在某些情况下，转换也可能将数据更新到目标数据库的不同模式。 数据库管理工具还可以包括可以监视分布式数据库上的负载的负载平衡器，并且可以将数据库的部分分离成不同的数据库实例，以更有效地平衡较大的数据库。
