Operating System Update Template
This template creates a configuration that checks if the operating system of the remote device has not performed a recent update search or has outstanding critical updates. It can be found in the COMPLIANCE CHECK category when filtered for REMOTE platform.
If the operating system of the remote device has not performed a recent update search or has outstanding critical updates, you can choose between two actions:
- Denies access to the session if the operating system of the remote device has not performed a recent update search or has outstanding updates.
- Displays a message in the session if the operating system of the remote device has not performed a recent update search or has outstanding updates.
deviceTRUST requires some simple but essential configuration steps to be performed to enable the template for your remoting and DaaS environments. We will guide you step-by-step through simple deviceTRUST configuration steps to enable the template within your remoting or DaaS environment.
We will perform the following steps:
Step 1: Prerequisites
If the required deviceTRUST components (Agent, Console, Client Extension and License) are not yet installed, please visit the Getting Started for Remote guide and complete step 1 to 5 and then continue here with step 2 below.
Step 2: Contexts
The template has imported the following contexts:
| Context | Description | Customizations |
|---|---|---|
| Operating System Update | Defines if a recent update search has been performed and that all updates have been installed on the remote device. | None |
- If a context is not needed, it can be deactivated or deleted. In addition, the corresponding task sequence within the relevant action must be deleted too.
Step 3: Actions
The template includes a notifying action that displays a message to the user about a context status and an enforcement action that actively controls access to the session. By default, only the notifying action is enabled and the enforcement action is disabled.
| Action | Description | Default State | Customizations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operating System Update - Conditional Access - Enforcement | Denies access to the session if the operating system of the remote device has not performed a recent update search or has outstanding updates. | Deactivated | None |
| Operating System Update - Conditional Access - Notification | Displays a message in the session if the operating system of the remote device has not performed a recent update search or has outstanding updates. | Activated | None |
- If both actions have been disabled, the contexts will still be created.
- If both actions have been activated, the deny access task will take priority over the displaying of the notification message.
