  1. CLI220Windows Vista Client Manageability Presented by Mark Minasi Created by David ZipkinProduct ManagerWindows Vista Microsoft Corporation

  2. Management Features and Improvements in Windows Vista 3 Management Goals: • User Account Control • Windows Resource Protection • Group Policy Enhancements • Update Management Improvements • New WMI Providers and Windows Remote Management Maintain PC configuration Simplify Configuration Management Desktop Troubleshooting and Task Automation • New Event Viewer and Logging Infrastructure • New Task Scheduler • Reliability Analysis Component

  3. Goal 1: Maintain PC Configuration

  4. User Account Control • Lowers total cost of ownership by making it practical to run as standard user • PC is kept in known state • Restrict installations of unapproved software • Less downtime and higher productivity • Reduce need to re-image system “…a locked and well-managed PC can save 40%.” —Gartner, December 2005

  5. Demo: User Account Control • Administrator experience • Group policy controls • Standard user experience

  6. Windows Resource Protection • Maintain PC configuration by preventing potentially damaging system configuration changes • System files and registry settings protected from accidental changes by the user or from software installers • Only the OS Trusted Installer Service can change Windows Resource Protection resources • If modified, boot critical files are replaced with trusted copies

  7. Demo: Windows Resource Protection • New name, old technology • Try to delete calc.exe • Examine permissions • And if we were to take control and delete it…

  8. Goal 2: Simplify Configuration Management

  9. Improvements in Group Policy for Windows Vista • Extends the reach of Group Policy with hundreds more settings • Reliably and efficiently apply policy • Easier to use

  10. Extending the Reach of Group Policy Over 500 new settings across key areas

  11. Improvements In Group PolicyApplied more reliably, and easier to use Reliable and Efficient Application of Policy Easier to Use Network aware application of Group Policy Support for editing Group Policy settings in Multilingual Environments Support for Multiple Local GPOs GPMC integrated into Windows Search and filter (Post Windows Vista) Templates (Post Windows Vista)

  12. Demo: Using GP for device control • Goal: kill CD-ROM drive • Open device manager, find CD-rom, Properties • Details, look for Hardware Ids and Compatible Ids • Note them • Uninstall hardware • In Gpedit, go to Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / System / Driver Installation /Device Installation Restrictions • Prevent installation of devices that match any of these device IDs • Punch in ID • gpupdate /force • rescan for changes

  13. Search and Filter Will Make it Easier to Find the Right Settings Search and Filter Prototype Interface…coming soon

  14. Templates Will Facilitate Policy Creation Search and Filter Prototype Interface…coming soon

  15. We’re Making Progress Reducing the Pain of Update Management… • Fewer updates delivered via Windows Update (WU) require reboots • Updates requiring a reboot reduced by at least 17% since August 2003 • Reduction in update delivery frequency from once a week to once a month • Consolidate multiple reboots into a single reboot when multiple patches requiring a reboot are installed together

  16. …And Getting Even Better With Windows Vista • Patches can be applied directly to images • Auto-update everything • Platform technology to reduce reboots

  17. Windows Vista and 2007 Office SystemFurther Reduce Disruption From Reboots • Fewer reboots when using the Windows Add/Remove Programs feature • Corporate Developers can reduce reboots for installations and updates by using the Windows Installer • Automatically restart after a reboot due to an installation or update • Recreate application state upon restart Windows Installer (MSI) Key 2007 Microsoft Office applications (1) (1) Selected Microsoft applications that take advantage of Microsoft Office Restart Manager Word, Office Excel, Office Outlook, Office PowerPoint, and Internet Explorer

  18. Windows Management Infrastructure (WMI) Enhancements Improve Manageability • Windows Vista includes 13 new WMI Providers: • BitLocker Drive Encryption • Trusted Platform Module • Boot Configuration Database • Intelligent Platform Management Interface • Windows Parental Controls • Network Access Protocol Client • Others…

  19. WinRM - Windows Remote Management • Firewall Friendly Remote Access Protocol (Replaces DCOM) • HTTP & HTTPS • Microsoft’s implementation of WS-Management Use Windows Remote Management to Access WMI Information over the Internet

  20. Goal 3: Desktop Troubleshooting and Task Automation

  21. New Event Logging Infrastructure - Windows Eventing 6.0 • Right data to diagnose problems • The right data…but not too much data • Improved supporting data and documentation for all events • Infrastructure supports Ad-hoc diagnosis and management tools • Schematized events (XML) provide richer information • Easy integration with management tools

  22. User Experience in Event Viewer is Dramatically Improved • Single place to view events for all Windows Vista components • Focus on important events with filtering and custom views • Events are actionable • Associate a task with an event with a single click • Event Subscriptions • IT Professionals can subscribe to events and view them centrally • Based on Windows Remote Management

  23. What’s New in Task Scheduler? • Power and flexibility • Sophisticated Scheduling Options with new triggers, conditional launch, and action chaining • Completely scriptable • Visibility • Task dashboard shows active and upcoming tasks • Improved reliability and resource allocation • Retry tasks in case of failure • Run when next available

  24. Reliability Analysis Console • Helps you understand causes of crashes and hangs • Tracks frequency and type of user disruptions • Shows connections between application installs and other system events

  25. Demo: Task Scheduler • Creating a task • Task view options • Options to re-run a scheduled task • Ability to start it immediately • Edit capabilities

  26. Demo: Event Viewer • Greater granularity • XML message format • Event triggers • Event forwarding

  27. Management Features and Improvements in Windows Vista 3 Management Goals: • User Account Control • Windows Resource Protection • Group Policy Enhancements • Update Management Improvements • New WMI Providers and Windows Remote Management Maintain PC configuration Simplify Configuration Management Desktop Troubleshooting and Task Automation • New Event Viewer and Logging Infrastructure • New Task Scheduler • Reliability Analysis Component

  28. Demo: Reliability Monitor • Built on Reliability Analysis Component • An MMC snap-in • Clickable graph format and front-end to Event Viewer
