I am new to the Wyse CE platform and am able to get a Wyse S30 to do a FTP upgrade from CE5 to CE6 but would like to have a few things changed in the default load including:

1. Remove all desktop icons (don’t want any at all)
2. Change colors to max (because of using PACS)
2. Add a password to get to the Control Panel
3. Remove misc programs from Start Menu (IE, Media Player, etc.).

Can someone please tell me what I need to do so that when I push the new ftp image these will be fixed.

This is possible but needs a few steps.
Check here for the “DHCP Automatic Firmware Upgrade” document. http://www.freewysemonkeys.com/modules.php?name=Web_Links&l_op=viewlink&cid=2

After doing this you can configure one client the way you want it. Use Wyse Device Manager to pull the CE config.
Convert this pulled config file (settings.reg) with my ConfGen tool into a CE package and add it to the automatic upgrade process.

Now new client will autoupdate the firmware and add the config package on top.

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.
