● Adding Windows Embedded Standard operating system and ThinLinux images to the repository

● Adding ThinOS firmware to the repository

● Adding Terdici firmware to the repository

● Creating Windows Embedded Standard and ThinLinux image policies.

Adding Windows Embedded Standard operating system and

ThinLinux images to repository

Prerequisites

● If you are using Wyse Management Suite with cloud deployment, go to Portal Administration > Console Settings > File

Repository. Click Download version 1.3 to download the WMS_Repo.exe file and install the Wyse Management Suite

repository installer. For more information, see Accessing file repository.

● If you are using Wyse Management Suite with on-premise deployment, the local repository is installed during Wyse

Management Suite installation process.

About this task

To add an image to the repository folder on your system, do the following:

Steps

1. Copy the Windows Embedded Standard operating system images or ThinLinux images to the <Repository

Location>\repository\osImages\zipped folder.

Wyse Management Suite extracts the files from the zipped folder and uploads the files in the <Repository

Location>\repository\osImages\valid location. The image extraction may take several minutes depending upon

the image size.

NOTE:

For ThinLinux operating system, download the merlin image, for example, 1.0.7_3030LT_merlin.exe, and

copy in the <Repository Location>\Repository\osImages\zipped folder.

The image is added to the repository.

2. Go to Apps and data > OS image repository > WES/ThinLinux to view the registered image.

Adding ThinOS firmware to repository

Steps

1. In the Apps & Data tab, under OS Image Repository, click ThinOS.

2. Click Add File.
