Abstract: A system and method that centrally manages desktop packages is provided allowing the administrator to recover component files previously sent to servers located throughout the organization. Applications are assigned to users and workstations. Self-contained desktop packages are transmitted to servers. The servers, in turn, provide the desktop packages to clients. The packages and the components included in the packages include unique identifiers used to identify the packages and components. A manifest is maintained detailing the individual components included in each of the self-contained desktop files. When a disaster event occurs at the administrator's computer system, the administrator retrieves the self-contained desktop files from the servers to which the packages were previously transmitted. The administrator repopulates the component libraries by unpacking the components from the self-contained desktop files. The administrator uses the manifest to determine whether additional self-contained package files need to be retrieved from other servers.

Abstract translation: 提供集中管理桌面软件包的系统和方法，允许管理员恢复以前发送到整个组织中的服务器的组件文件。 应用程序分配给用户和工作站。 自包含的桌面包传输到服务器。 这些服务器又向客户端提供桌面软件包。 程序包和程序包中包含的组件包括用于标识程序包和组件的唯一标识符。 维护清单，详细说明了每个独立桌面文件中包含的各个组件。 当管理员的计算机系统发生灾难事件时，管理员从先前传输包的服务器检索自包含的桌面文件。 管理员通过从自包含的桌面文件中解包组件来重新构建组件库。 管理员使用清单来确定是否需要从其他服务器检索其他自包含的包文件。

Abstract: A system and method that centrally manages desktop packages is provided. The administrator assigns applications to users and workstations. The administrator selects desktop components needed for a particular job role and packages the components into a self-contained desktop package file. The self-contained desktop package is sent to a user that is using a particular workstation. Roles that are allowed for both the workstation and the user are enabled to be used by the user using the workstation. In one embodiment, the components are packaged in different sets of self-contained desktop packages, with each package corresponding to a different role. In one embodiment, the self-contained desktop package files are transmitted to a user when the user logs into the network using a particular workstation.
