Administrator Guide

● Apply the policy to new devices—This option automatically applies the policy to a registered device which belongs to
a selected group or to the device that is moved to a selected group. When this option is selected, the policy is applied
to all the new devices that are registered to the group. To run the job on the existing devices present in the group, you
must schedule the policy. After you schedule the policy, the job status displays the count of devices that are already
present in the group. The job status of the newly added device count that are registered is not displayed.
● Apply the policy to devices on check in—This option is automatically applied to the device at check-in. When this
option is selected, the policy is applied to all the devices present in the group. To run the job on existing devices present
in the group immediately or at a scheduled time before the device check-in, you must schedule the policy. After you
schedule the policy, the job status displays the count of devices that are already present in the group.
NOTE: The job status of the newly added device count that is checked in to Wyse Management Suite is not displayed.
NOTE: For Windows-based devices, specify the silent installation parameters for .exe files to run the application in the

Timeout field. The default value is 60 minutes.

Wyse Software thin clients.
