Operating System patching and virtualization deployment, among other things, may change the virtual desktops configuration set by the administrator.
In a Windows environments, these configuration drifts may be detected using Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) to create a configuration baseline featuring groups of different configuration items and apply this baseline to a virtual desktop deployment.
Our development team is already working on UDS Enterprise 2.0. This new version features interesting innovations, such as complete interface and backend redesign, optimized for the new models of services which have been incorporated.
In addition, the new release supports new service providers for cloud and enables calendar management for schedules and tasks. Initially UDS Enterprise 2.0 is planned to be released during 2016 Q2.
Stay tuned to our blog and social media channels to learn more about this new UDS Enterprise release.
