For most of our devices, the firmware upgrade, when needed, will be in a central wyse folder, as all of them use it as their FTP INI path. However, for users who have a unique INI, is there a way to get around having to have the firmware out under each of their Wyse paths? We have ~ 300 unique users all with unique Wyse folders (auto logins, personal desktops, etc.). This means the 356MB .raw file exists 300 times, equaling 106GB. Just to store 1 file in the grand scheme. Is there a way to point devices to a central location for their firmware upgrades, when needed?

Why aren’t you using username.ini files?

Just haven’t delved into them to be honest. Is that the path to explore?

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.
