Estimating the term…
Installing software using the configuration manager so that the rollback and security features of the configuration manager may be used during the installation process. A mobile computing device accesses files that are to be installed on the mobile computing device, and well as computer-executable instructions that define how the files are to be installed on the mobile computing device. The configuration manager then causes the computer-executable instructions to be executed (e.g., using configuration service providers), and causes a mirroring rollback document to be constructed. If the installation fails, the installation process is reversed by executing the rollback document. The configuration manager may also be used to implement security when executing the installation instructions by checking to determine whether or not execution of each installation instruction is authorized.
In a network environment that includes a source of a set of computer-executable instructions, and a plurality of mobile computing devices, a method for at least one of the mobile computing devices installing the set of computer-executable instructions as a transaction using rollback features of a configuration manager residing on the mobile computing device, the method comprising the following:
A computer program product for use in a network environment that includes a source of set of computer-executable instructions, and a plurality of mobile computing devices, the computer program product for implementing a method for at least one of the mobile computing devices installing the set of computer-executable instructions as a transaction using rollback features of a configuration manager residing on the mobile computing device, the computer program product comprising at least one computer-readable media having stored thereon the following:
