Hello,

We have a large mix of WTOS clients running 6.5.0_46 and 7.0_217.
A group of the Wyse clients was recently moved to a WDM server for management. All WNOS.INI configuration is the same – except we are using WDM instead of a legacy FTP server.
For unknown reasons, the Wyse WTOS clients no longer report their hostname to the DHCP server. When I look at the DHCP leases, the hostname field is blank. Other devices, Windows PCs, printers, etc. are still showing the hostname as provided by the client, but all Wyse TCs that have been moved to WDM do not appear to be providing their hostname to the DHCP Server at least time.

Any ideas why this might be?

Thank you.

And it worked before?
Are the non-working client all running the same firmware level or is it a wild mix?

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.
