With Windows 10, Microsoft Enables “Modern Management” of PCs

Integrated MDM Framework

Simplified Device Onboarding

Cloud-based Management

Microsoft’s own IT is moving away from traditional PC management to modern management for Windows 10.*

MDM doesn’t support 1000s of OS and firmware settings

Frequency and size of cloud updates is a challenge

Limited features means more siloed security tools

MDM supports limited Win32 app management

Most EMMs Focus on Limited Windows 10 MDM Capabilities

Understanding the Workspace ONE UEM Solution Stack

#ITDEVCONNECTIONS | ITDEVCONNECTIONS.COM

You have two options when leveraging Windows Updates for OEM Updates (Firmware, BIOS, Drivers, etc.):

1. WSUS – devices are on network and have access to WSUS. Very granular control over which updates are approved and when they become available however highly mobile users will never get their updates.

2. Windows Update for Business – devices who are on or off the network, must enable delivery optimization to control large downloads over WAN networks. Granular control when not using auto approvals.

Only works for OEMs who publish their updates to Windows Updates. Works well for Surface devices!

Getting Granular with Scripting

You can leverage scripting to modify and update devices. Intune supports PowerShell scripts, while SCCM and Workspace ONE UEM supports custom scripting (e.g. PS1, BAT, etc.)

1. PROS1. Granular and fits every use-case

2. Automated way of updating devices

2. CONS1. Very custom per device model and OEM

2. Time Consuming

Deploying Drivers

Leverage software deployment to push drivers to devices, however this might not be the most automated way.

• Most EMMs support deploying MSI packages. Intune now supports other files types with the latest announcement at Ignite!

• Workspace ONE UEM supports deploying EXEs, MSIs (MSI, MSP, MST), and custom ZIP packages (PowerShell wrapped deployments).

• SCCM supports all types and has built-in driver management support.

Overall this is a very manual process to keep drivers updated and deployed, works well when only deploying to a single OEM/Model.

Dell Command | Monitor

Workspace ONE UEM natively integrates with Dell Command | Monitor to provide the ability to:

1. Set or Read BIOS Attributes 1. Set BIOS Password

2. Update BIOS to UEFI

2. Read System Properties via DCIM classes

3. Report on all attributes and take automated actions (e.g. replace worn batteries before users complain)

4. Supports deploying CCTK packages, created using Dell Command | Configure

Admins just have to create a BIOS profile in the console and Dell Command | Monitor must be installed on the devices.

Dell Command | Update

Workspace ONE UEM natively integrates with Dell Command | Update to provide the ability to:

1. Set Scan Intervals, choose which Updates are Approved, how updates are applied (force reboot, etc.)

2. Provides a per-device and consolidated view of all OEM updates on the devices

3. Provides reporting and automation

Admins just have to create an OEM updates profile in the console and Dell Command | Update must be installed on the devices.

Custom Inventory and Scripting• Run scripts and queries in real-time

• Make edits to the scripts in-line

• Admins can collect any device property and report on it in real time

• Inclusion in smart groups for dynamic targeting

• Expand to new query types for Dell BIOS

• Integrate with Intelligence APIs to invoke sensor through automations

• Create a community library on code.vmware.com for pre-defined sensors

#ITDEVCONNECTIONS | ITDEVCONNECTIONS.COM

Workspace ONE Sensors

• Allow admins to define and configure different sensor queries and target specific devices

• Write or upload scripts in-place within the console.

• Define multiple query types of PowerShell and Dell BIOS queries

• Define dynamic membership of devices in smart groups based on the attribute values.

• Choose datatypes for device response so they can be compared to other data
