Administrator Guide

Introduction
Thin clients running Dell Wyse ThinOS firmware are designed solely for optimal thin client security and performance. These
efficient purpose-built thin clients offer ultrafast access to applications, files, and network resources within Virtual Desktop
Infrastructure (VDI) environments. With zero attack surface, unpublished API, and encrypted data Wyse ThinOS is virus and
malware resistant.
Wyse ThinOS requires a management software to configure, operate, and update thereby eliminating the need for IT support
to visit or touch the physical devices. Dell Wyse Management Suite is the next generation management solution that enables
you to centrally configure, monitor, manage, and optimize your ThinOS-based thin clients. As the number of devices grows, the
Wyse Management Suite offers process automation and helps lower costs for large deployments of thin clients. With secure
HTTPS-based communications and active directory authentication for role-based administration, Wyse Management Suite keeps
your thin clients always up-to-date. The mobile application enables IT to view critical alerts, notifications on the dashboard, and
send real-time commands.
This guide is intended for administrators of thin clients running Wyse ThinOS and using Wyse Management Suite to manage thin
clients. It provides information and detailed system configurations to help you design and manage a ThinOS environment using
Wyse Management Suite.
