Well being a partner now of LiquidwareLabs and still very good friends with the crew over there I still get a early glimpse into\u00a0the goodies. Today they released early\u00a0access\u00a0to ProfileUnity 6. Just about everything they promised that would feature in ProfileUnity is a reality now. And the great thing\u00a0is unlike some more expensive UEM\/Profile Management\/Persona Management (what ever you want to call it)\u00a0they managed to keep the cost down, keep the architecture the same and kept the features in 1 product.<\/p>\n<p>These are some of the new features in version 6:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Application Rights Management<\/strong> (ARM) features in ProfileUnity enable Administrators to securely grant specific Standard Users detailed application rights without making them a Windows Administrator. While some User Environment Management (UEM) vendors have separate products at significant additional cost to cover ARM, the <strong>new features will be included in ProfileUnity<\/strong> from Liquidware Labs. ProfileUnity\u2019s ARM capabilities include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Secure elevation of applications that require Admin rights for standard users<\/li>\n<li>Allow application installations on persistent virtual or physical for Standard users<\/li>\n<li>Allow\/Deny Process \u2013 Whitelist\/Blacklist options for installed applications per user<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Trigger Points<\/strong> have also been added to ProfileUnity as an option to increase the frequency of User Profile saves and to assign resources such as printers on a real-time context aware basis. Trigger Points now give the ProfileUnity agent the ability to detect environment changes and apply an action.\u00a0 Examples include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Profile sync during session on application open and\/or application close<\/li>\n<li>Location aware printer reassignment during a user session based on session reconnect and\/or disconnect<\/li>\n<li>Assignment of applications, such as RDSH, virtual, or SAAS apps, based on location aware settings that have changed during user session<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>ProfileUnity gives Windows 8.x Start Menu Choices<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While Microsoft has announced that they\u2019ll include a Start Menu in future versions of their OSs, <strong>ProfileUnity v6.0 will deliver classic start menu options to Windows 8.x.<\/strong>\u00a0 Administrators will be able to specify an XP style or Windows 7 style start menu for Windows 8.x.\u00a0 Liquidware Labs sees this option as a way to increase user adoption of Windows 8.x, helping with user productivity, and ending needless helpdesk calls from users new to the OS.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as I finished upgrading my lab v6 is going in&#8230;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As you may or may not know I worked for a brief time for a bunch of industry friends of mine LiquidwareLabs\u00a0and was privy to roadmaps and stuff they wanted to do with their products.
