Patent attributes
Systems herein include thin clients that operate with managed profile-based virtual machines. This can allow users to utilize personal user devices in an enterprise environment without subjecting sensitive enterprise credentials to the user device. A management server can determine a profile associated with the user device. Based on the profile, a virtual machine can be instantiated at a thin server, remotely from the thin client. The profile-specific virtual machine can include a particular guest operating system, guest applications, security features, or functionality. The instance of the virtual machine can communicate graphics information from a guest application to the thin client, and the thin client can communicate user interface events to the instance for controlling the guest application.
