Dell Wyse 5070 Conversion
Prerequisites
● If the Wyse 5070 device running either Windows 10 or ThinLinux 2.x does not have the latest boot agent which is equal or
later than 4.0.8, download it from the Dell support site.
● If the Wyse 5070 device running ThinOS 8.6_511 does not have the latest boot agent which is equal or later than 4.0.8,
download it from the Dell support site.
● If you are converting Windows 10 IoT Enterprise devices, download the Dell Hybrid Client image,
DHC_Wyse_5070_Conversion_Merlin_Image_xxxx_32GB.exe from the Dell support site.
● If you are converting ThinLinux 2.x or ThinOS 8.6 devices, download the Dell Hybrid Client image,
DHC_Wyse_5070_Conversion_Merlin_Image_xxxx_16GB.exe from the Dell support site.
● Ensure that you use Wyse Management Suite Pro 3.1 or later version.
● Ensure that the number of Hybrid Client licenses is equal or more than the number of devices that need to be converted to
Dell Hybrid Client. The Dell Hybrid Client licenses can be imported into Wyse Management Suite.
● If Wyse Management Suite is set up on a public cloud and you want to register the conversion image to a public cloud, the
on-premise repository should be set up and configured locally. For more information, see Remote Repository.
About this task
The process of converting Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSB, Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC, ThinLinux 2.x and ThinOS 8.6
to Dell Hybrid Client removes the contents and partition structure of the existing drive. The conversion process preserves
only the certificates and settings relevant to register the device to Wyse Management Suite. All other data, certificates and
configuration settings are not preserved. After the conversion to Dell Hybrid Client, it is not possible to convert the device back
to the original state. However, you can restore the original operating system using the Dell Wyse USB Imaging Tool from the Dell
support site. The existing data and settings are not restored.
Steps
1. Register the Dell Hybrid client image to Wyse Management Suite. For details about how to register, see Adding Hybrid Client
images to repository.
● If the storage size of the device is more than 16 GB, use DHC_CONVERSION_5070.exe.
● If the storage size of the device is 16 GB, use DHC_CONVERSION_5070_16GB.exe.
2. Create the Dell Hybrid Client image policy. For details on how to create Hybrid Client image policy, see Creating Hybrid Client
image policies.
3. Convert the device to Dell Hybrid Client. For details on how to schedule an image, see Scheduling the image policy.
● The device receives an image update notification. The boot agent downloads the image from the Wyse Management
Suite repository and installs the Dell Hybrid Client image by internally triggering the Dell Recovery Tool. After the imaging
is completed, the device boots to Dell Hybrid Client.
● Dell Client Agent registers the device, as Dell Hybrid Client to Wyse Management Suite.
