Introduction
Dell Wyse Configuration Manager (WCM) is an innovative self-configuring 
client technology for the cloud and Dell Wyse Enhanced Embedded virtual 
desktop environments. WCM provides a simple solution to create and apply 
configuration files to Dell Wyse thin clients running supported Microsoft 
Windows Embedded operating systems. 
WCM is mainly used by IT Administrators who create configuration files 
using a simple standalone GUI or capture them from an already configured 
Dell Wyse thin client running a supported Windows Embedded operating 
system. The thin client system connects to the remote file folder location that 
contains the configuration file and downloads the same to update the 
configuration. WCM enables configuration of multitude of thin clients 
without a management server. 
This guide is intended for administrators of Wyse thin clients running 
WES2009, WES7, WES7p, or WE8S. It provides the necessary information 
for using the tool to create and apply configuration files to Wyse thin clients.
The supported Windows Embedded operating systems are:
• Wyse Embedded Standard 2009 (WES2009)
• Wyse Enhanced Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 7 (WES7)
• Wyse Enhanced Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 7 p (WES7p) 
• Wyse Enhanced Microsoft Windows Embedded 8 Standard(WE8S) (32-
