Hello everyone
I’ll start off by saying that i’m new to the thin client scene but have many years experience working with PC’s and Macs.

I’ve been tasked to create an auto configuration setup for our Wyse thin clients running SUSE. From what I’ve read so far, it shouldn’t be too complicated i hope. It looks like I’ll need a DHCP server token which points to an FTP server where the config file is located?

Here’s my questions if somebody could please assist me with them. Does the config file need to reside on an FTP server or can it be on a file share?
I’m also looking for some examples of config files or more exacting help with creating them.

If there’s any articles, FAQ’s or whatever that you found helpful in setting this up please share as well.

thanks much for your time

The file is called wlx.ini and has to be placed on webserver. This could be ftp, http or https.
The folder structure should look like this
ftprootwysewlxwlx.ini

Check out my ConfGen tool for easily creating the ini files.

Jim Lathan

Greetings! My name is Jim Lathan, and I am a nerd, Diginerd is what my friends know me as. I have been with Dell about 20 years serving in many roles; mostly Systems Engineer. My history with Wyse starts years before the Dell acquisition. Before the purchase of Wyse, I and a hand full of system engineers guided dell to desktop virtualization leading to Dell developing its first Thin Client. Having kickstarted the VDI strategy I moved to the Client Product Group where I co-launched Dells VDI-in-a-box and participated in the vetting of the thin client industry which led to Dell purchasing Wyse. Once the acquisition was completed, I moved back into a systems engineer role to help educate and promote the new Dell / Wyse solutions. Years later, I have been active in providing feedback and new product evaluations for Wyse and other VDI related solutions. I am also continuing to educate myself and build experiences with Citrix, VMware, Microsoft, and cloud-based solutions. So, what makes me a Diginerd? My other technical passions is Raspberry Pi’s, 3D printers, laser cutters, Ham radio, and I love to learn about technologies big and small, old and new. My hobbies include renovating Commodore 64s, old school electronics and learning Linux. I also enjoy camping and being with my family. I want to finish by thanking Thomas for a tremendous job of building Techincalhelp. I pledge to you all that I will give it my all and do my best to fill his shoes.
