An architecture and system are described that provide a unified file access service within in a managed computing environment composed of diverse networks, computing devices, and storage devices. The service provides mechanisms for remotely accessing the file systems of any managed computer or disk snapshot, independently of the computer's current state (powered on, suspended or powered off), its location within the environment, its hardware type (virtual vs. physical), its operating system type, and its file system formats. The system isolates centralized FPAs from the details of clients, proxies and storage elements by providing a service that decomposes offloaded file system access into two steps. A FPA or a requester acting on behalf of the FPA first expresses the disk set or the computer containing the file systems it wishes to access, along with requirements and preferences about the access method. The service figures out an efficient data path satisfying the FPA's needs, and then automatically configures a set of storage and computing resources to provide the data path.

In a method of updating software on a dormant disk, exposed files are accessed. The exposed files are exposed by mounting the dormant disk. The exposed files are scanned to determine the status of software residing on the dormant disk. The scanning is achieved without requiring booting of the dormant disk. It is determined whether an update is available for the software residing on the dormant disk.

A method for maintaining domain access of a virtual machine is described. According to one embodiment, a generation of a new computer account password by an operating system is identified. The new computer account password is copied to an auxiliary storage location. An existing computer account password is replaced with the new computer account password when it is determined that a file system of the computer has been restored to a previous state. The copying of the new computer account password may be performed in response to the generation of the new computer account password. The replacing of the existing computer account password may be performed in response to the restoring of file system to the previous state.

A conventionally coded application conversion system for streamed delivery and execution converts locally installable applications into a data set suitable for streaming over a network. The invention monitors two classes of information during an application installation on a local computer system. System registry modifications are monitored and the modification data are recorded when the installation program writes to the registry of the local computer system. File modification data are logged each time an installation program modifies a file on the system. This data is used to create an initialization data set which is the first set of data to be streamed from the server to the client and contains the information captured needed by the client to prepare the client machine for streaming a particular application. A runtime data set is also created that contains the rest of the data that is streamed to the client once the client machine is initialized for a particular application. A versioning table contains a list of root file numbers and version numbers which are used to track application patches and upgrades. The invention monitors a running application that is being configured for a particular working environment on the local computer system. The data acquired are used to duplicate the same configuration on multiple client machines.

The system provisions and upgrades a private cloud stack from a public cloud application. The system registers and activates installed private cloud stacks to discover names, and software packages. The system enables each private cloud stack's roles for data plane elements and activates a private cloud stack. The system receives connection request from the installed host agent to customer resource manager. The system receives host related information from host agent. The software system stores and pushes the desired state for particular host agent to the host agent. The system installs components on enterprise machine associated with role via host agent. The system configures said installed components using templates and dynamic template parameters. The system receives continuous configuration updates for the installed components and continuous heart beat messages for account manager. The system displays visual alerts via UI for any heartbeat, component install or configuration failures.
