Administrator Guide

Getting Started

This section describes the activities that you must perform to start using your thin client:

To get started using your thin client, see:

• Logging On, see Logging On

• Using your Desktop, see Using Your Desktop

• Before conguring your thin clients, see Before conguring your thin clients

• Connecting to a Printer, see Connecting to a Printer

• Connecting to a Monitor, see Connecting to a Monitor

• Logging O, see Logging O

NOTE: While it can be used in environments without central conguration for basic connectivity needs, supported clients are

designed to be centrally managed and congured using network and session services.

In general, we recommend you use central conguration to automatically push updates and enable any desired default conguration to

all thin client in your environment, see Using Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol (DHCP).

IMPORTANT:

To save any congurations you make on a thin client to persist after a thin client reboot, be sure to disable the File Based Write Filter

before your congurations to the thin client, and then enable the File Based Write Filter after your congurations. For more information,

see Before conguring your thin clients.

Logging On

The initial display that you see when you turn on your thin client or during the reboot of your thin client depends on the administrator

congurations. After creating user account, an administrator can congure that particular user account to log in automatically or require

manual login with user credentials. For more information, see Dell Wyse Auto Logon .

For information about creating and managing user accounts, see Managing Users and Groups with User Accounts.

Automatic and Manual logon

For security reasons, automatic logon to a User desktop is enabled on the thin client by default.
