Abstract
In an embodiment, a method includes receiving a group policy object from an active directory, combining the group policy object and logic for using the group policy object with a virtualized application to provide a virtualized group policy object and delivering the virtualized application and the virtualized group policy object to a targeted computer system.
Claims10
A method comprising:
- creating a virtualized group policy object executable by combining a group policy object having one or more policy settings with logic for using the group policy object with a virtualized application;
- inserting the virtualized group policy object executable into a virtualized application package that includes the virtualized application;
- delivering the virtualized application package to a targeted computer system running a virtual environment;
- and
- executing the virtualized group policy object executable in the virtual environment to enforce the policy settings when the virtualized application is executed.
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a target computer system that includes a registry and a file system, a virtualized application package from an application server, the virtualized application package including a virtualized application, a virtualized registry, a virtualized file system and a virtualized group policy object executable having policy settings embedded therein;
- executing the virtualized group policy object executable to extract the embedded policy settings and deliver the extracted policy settings to the virtualized registry and the virtualized file system;
- and
- executing the virtualized application subject to the policy settings in the virtualized registry and the virtualized file system and independent of the registry and the file system of the target computer system.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions for execution in a processor for:
- creating a virtualized group policy object executable by combining a group policy object having one or more policy settings with logic for using the group policy object with a virtualized application;
- inserting the virtualized group policy object executable into a virtualized application package that includes the virtualized application;
- delivering the virtualized application package to a targeted computer system running a virtual environment where executing the virtualized group policy object executable in the virtual environment enforces the policy settings when the virtualized application is executed.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions for execution in a processor for:
- receiving, at a target computer system that includes a registry and a file system, a virtualized application package from an application server, the virtualized application package including a virtualized application, a virtualized registry, a virtualized file system and a virtualized group policy object executable having policy settings embedded therein;
- executing the virtualized group policy object executable to extract the embedded policy settings and deliver the extracted policy settings to the virtualized registry and the virtualized file system;
- and
- executing the virtualized application subject to the policy settings in the virtualized registry and the virtualized file system and independent of the registry and the file system of the target computer system.
