hello all,
I’ve been given a task to implement vdi in our classrooms. Boss doesn’t want to use a connection broker. We have esx 3.5 servers to use for the virtual machines. The tags was put in dhcp to point to the ftp server. Now…what ini file do i need. From what he told me there can be an ini file that has a list of mac addresses (wyse terms) that point to a vd on the esx server? but how? Any direction would be greatly appreciated. We do not have AD or Citrix here to authenticate either. Is this possible?
TIA
Jim π3. December 2008 at 8:30 #14575OK, here is the deal:
– create a folder called wysewnos on your ftp server (or similar depending on the option tag you’ve already implemented)
– place a general wnos.ini file there (eg. KB layout, ….) and a parameter called “Include=$mac”
– create a subfolder called inc
– place files called unitmacaddress. in there (no extension and unique for each unit)
– these files shold contain the connection settings to each VMware session.That’s all

3. December 2008 at 19:01 #14582ok i got part of it to work. in the event log it is showing “including:wmos/inc/macaddy.ini” but it isn’t taking the setting to connect via rdp. Could I possibly need an update? It’s running at 6.0.0_14 currently.
Thanks!
Jim3. December 2008 at 19:14 #14583Have you named your mac.ini file really macaddy.ini?
If you are using Include=$mac you have to use a name similar to 008064123456.
No extension. One file for each mac address.CG
3. December 2008 at 19:19 #14585Sorry about that lol the mac ini file is name 00806462ecff.ini
ok i will try to drop the ini from it now.
3. December 2008 at 19:43 #14586UGH!!!! The ftp server is on a unix box and I’m unix challeneged! I forgot it is case sensitive. I renamed the file using lower case and this is what showed on the event screen and it worked!!!!!!!
Thank you for all your help!!!
