We have about 500 R50LE running SUSE and they show up with blank lease names on our DHCP server so the names are registering in DNS. We have some ThinOS wyse devices and the name shows up under the DHCP lease and also get populated in DNS. Does anyone know why or how to fix this? I have a feeling that the domain suffix isn’t being set properly with SUSE linux. If you look at the network settings on the device is does indicate the correct domain. Is this a known bug?

We had a similar issue we reported to our Wyse contact. He provided me with an rpm named “dhclient_hostname-1-0.sletc11sp1.rpm” that we had to drop in the addons folder, as well as create a file called “directory” that within it just had 1 line, “dhclient_hostname-1-0.sletc11sp1.rpm” (no quotes). Then, within our wlx.ini file, we had to enter, again without quotes “NewAddons=dhclient_hostname-1-0.sletc11sp1.rpm”.

I’d attach the RPM here but doesn’t look like this forum supports file attachments.

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.
