Desktop shadowing in a virtual desktop infrastructure environment
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, by a virtual desktop management (VDM) server from an administrator device, selection of a virtual desktop;
receiving, by the VDM server from a virtual machine, transmission of the virtual desktop, wherein the transmission of the virtual desktop includes display data representing a visual user interface for the virtual desktop running on the virtual machine, and wherein the display data is transmitted concurrently to a remote client device and to the VDM server;
determining, by the VDM server, that the received transmission of the virtual desktop includes a policy state; and
providing, by the VDM server to the administrator device, management access to the selected virtual machine while, in response to the detected policy state, preventing the administrator device from accessing the display data for the virtual desktop running on the virtual machine.

Abstract
Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include a virtual desktop management (VDM) server receiving selection of a virtual desktop from an administrator device and receiving transmission of the virtual desktop from a virtual machine. The virtual desktop is generated by the virtual machine and transmitted concurrently to a remote client device and to the VDM server. The VDM server determines that the received transmission of the virtual desktop includes a policy state and, in response, provides the administrator device with limited management access to the selected virtual machine. The limited management access prevents the administrator device from accessing display data for the virtual desktop. The VDM facilitates sending a request to and receiving permission from the client device to enable the administrator device to access the display data.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform method comprising:
-
receiving, by a virtual desktop management (VDM) server from an administrator device, selection of a virtual desktop; receiving, by the VDM server from a virtual machine, transmission of the virtual desktop, wherein the transmission of the virtual desktop includes display data representing a visual user interface for the virtual desktop running on the virtual machine, and wherein the display data is transmitted concurrently to a remote client device and to the VDM server; determining, by the VDM server, that the received transmission of the virtual desktop includes a policy state; and providing, by the VDM server to the administrator device, management access to the selected virtual machine while, in response to the detected policy state, preventing the administrator device from accessing display data for the virtual desktop running on the virtual machine. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A virtual desktop management (VDM) server comprising a processing device, wherein the processing device executes instructions that cause the VDM server to:
-
receive selection of a virtual desktop from an administrator device; receive, from a virtual machine, transmission of the virtual desktop, wherein the transmission of the virtual desktop includes display data representing a visual user interface for the virtual desktop running on the virtual machine, and wherein the display data is transmitted concurrently to a remote client device and to the VDM server; determine that the received transmission of the virtual desktop includes a policy state; and provide, to the administrator device, management access to the selected virtual machine while, in response to the detected policy state, preventing the administrator device from accessing display data for the virtual desktop running on the virtual machine. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
