Hi All,

I’ve been landed with the job of bringing all our S30 Thin Clients up to a consistent firmware version.

Most of the devices are reported as running Windows CE.Net while the newer ones run Windows CE 6.0.

I’ve pulled down the latest images from Wyse’s website, but have discovered that the WDM has some sort of filter on the package distribution wizard, so that it only shows updates of the same OS version (so the CE.Net clients can get one image version, while the CE 6.0 can get a different one).

Is anyone aware if it’s possible to convert the CE.Net devices to use the CE 6.0 image?

Unfortunately the devices are distributed all around the country so I need to use WDM or similar remote imaging tools to do this.

Many Thanks,

Paul

Check the corresponding .rsp files. There is a value called OS=.
Play around with this one.

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.
