Hybrid Workspaces and Patch-Management

UlliE

Hi everyone,

I just watched the video "Micro Focus Desktop Containers Application Streaming & Packaging-Exploring Remote Possibilities" -> https://youtu.be/ksoXF8L6ddM

And now I wonder, how does let's say an older version of notepad++ or a firefox would interfere with ZENworks Patch-Management?

Would zpm try to update it?

Or if it cannot update it for any reasons, would it lower my patch compliance given out on the dashboard?

Cheers

Ulli

    No, the software would not be installed on your PC so ZPM would not detect nor attempt to update it nor should it.

    1. It may be hosted on a Remote Terminal Server, so not even executed on your PC though it would appear to be doing so.
    2. It may be streamed from a WebServer, though the process executes directly on your PC.
    3. It could be recompiled into a special virtualized EXE.

    One of my favorite features allows network control within the application.  Imagine if a "JavaScript" was launched by a random ad while a user was browsing a normally safe website.  This "Javascript" will scan your internal network and report back.  If using a "Virtual Application", it would be possible to have a "Virtual Browser" that could hit internet sites, but not internal sites as well as a  browser that could hit Internal but not external sites.  The "Internet" version of the application could be restricted so that any disk or registry changes made were isolated to the container.  In one demo, I had the virtualized application wipe out C:\Windows and HKLM w/o impacting the PC.
