Faulty Driver Protection Comparing List Of Driver Faults

View page
US Patent:
7284157, Oct 16, 2007
Filed:
Jun 3, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/145326

Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06F 11/00
US Classification:
714 38, 714 44, 717173, 717178
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided that prevent faulty drivers from being loaded and/or can prevent faulty drivers from being installed. Thus, instability of a computer system can be mitigated. Additionally, the occurrence of data corruption, system halting and the like can be reduced. A requested driver is compared to a list of faulty drivers from a faulty driver database. If the requested driver is in the list of faulty drivers, the requested driver is deemed faulty or defective, and is prevented from being loaded. Additionally, if the requested driver is in the list of faulty drivers, the requested driver can be prevented from being installed. Otherwise, the requested driver is operable and can be installed and/or loaded.

Configuration Replication For System Recovery And Migration

US Patent:
7571349, Aug 4, 2009
Filed:
Aug 18, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/506423
Inventors:
Bjorn Benjamin Levidow - Bellevue WA, US
Neil Scott Fishman - Bothell WA, US
Eric B. Watson - Redmond WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06F 11/00
US Classification:
714 15
Abstract:
Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to system state changes. In aspects, a state change monitor detects a state change, determines whether the state change is within a set of state changes that are monitored, and, if so, logs data regarding the state change. The data and any other data needed to rollback the state change is exported to other nodes. The other nodes may store the data for rollback or migration purposes and/or adjust their operation so that they may operate correctly in view of the state change.

View page
US Patent:
20030084276, May 1, 2003
Filed:
Oct 29, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/040222
Inventors:
Bjorn Levidow - Bellevue WA, US
John Service - Monroe WA, US
Vincent Orgovan - Bellevue WA, US
Wael Bahaa-El- Din - Sammamish WA, US

US Classification:
713/001000
Abstract:
A method and a system for obtaining shutdown information for a computer allows a user to indicate a reason or reasons for the shutdown. The states of the user mode processes that are running on the computer are saved for later analysis. The state information as well as the shutdown reason entered by the user is stored in a computer-readable memory, such as in the form of a log file. A user may report a shutdown reason by selecting a reason from a predefined reason list and/or by typing a reason in a comment area.

Service Resiliency Within On-Premise Products

View page
US Patent:
20080046552, Feb 21, 2008
Filed:
Aug 18, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/506510
Inventors:
Eric B. Watson - Redmond WA, US
Lingan Satkunanathan - Kirkland WA, US
Bjorn B. Levidow - Bellevue WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06F 15/173
G06F 15/177
US Classification:
709223, 379230, 709224, 709221
Abstract:
Described is a technology by which a remote network (or local) service is monitored for failure, e.g., by determining whether data corresponding to operation of the service achieves a threshold. When a threshold is achieved that indicates that the service has failed, the service is automatically deactivated for use with a local workload, and the workload switched to use a second service or system having functionality similar to that of the failed service. The second service may be monitored for failure, as may the failed service to determine when it is again operational. In this manner, a remote primary service may have another local or remote secondary service/system automatically substituted for it when it fails, and be restored for use when it returns to acceptable operation.

Setup Of Workloads Across Nodes

View page
US Patent:
20080127168, May 29, 2008
Filed:
Aug 18, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/506513
Inventors:
Edward K. Tremblay - Bellevue WA, US
Bjorn B. Levidow - Bellevue WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06F 9/445
US Classification:
717174
Abstract:
Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to setting up nodes. In aspects, a setup process is started to install software components to provide services to other nodes. The setup process asks for a product key and maps the product key to a product definition that indicates a number of nodes upon which the software is allowed to be installed. The product definition may also indicate what services are allowed to be installed by the setup process. The user indicates the number of nodes on which he wishes to install the software. The user may then indicate which nodes the user wishes to provide which services. This setup data is stored and may be used to determine what services to install when the setup process is executed on each of the nodes.

International Classification:
H04L 9/00
US Classification:
705 59
Abstract:
A license management system may have an adapter or interface that enables any type of licensed software or service to be managed through a common administrative view. The adapters may use a common schema that includes various parameters about a license as well as information that may enable a license management system to interact with a license vendor or license provider. The licenses may include locally operating software, software operating over a local area network, and various services that may be provided over a network including the Internet. The license management system may support many types of licenses and may be able to consolidate license management of many different devices and types of devices. The license management system may display the various licenses, as well as provide some other functions including alerting, usage monitoring, and managing licenses.
