DELL 1.3.0.0 User Manual

Using the Dell Wyse Configuration Manager (WCM) GUI Application

After you create the configuration file, you must store the file in the location 

you need, and then complete the procedures required to apply the 

configurations to the thin clients systems.
You can deploy WCM configuration files to your thin clients:

• Automatically — For more information, see 

.

• Manually — For more information, see 

.

Ensure that the File Based Write Filter of the thin client is enabled. The 

WCM Client will not download and apply settings if the File Based Write Filter is 

disabled.

For the thin client systems to access configuration files from a server and 

update themselves automatically:

1 Place your configuration files on the server. On your server, you must set 

up the correct folder. For more information on setting up the folder 

structure, see 

 under 

2 Direct your thin client systems to the server using the DNS SRV, DNS 

Hostname, or DHCP Options. For more information, see 

Your thin client systems check at each boot up to see if updates are 

available on your predefined server.

3 Reboot or log out from your thin client systems. 

A system reboot generates the Discovery.ini file, which redirects the 

system to download the configuration file from the repository server. If 

updates are available, the updates are automatically installed. For example, 

new connections available to a user on the configuration file.
