Wyse Xenith 1.7 - Deploying unique INI settings based on client name/MAC address

Use the mac.ini for all my Xenith Pros. Basically just create an inc folder under the wnos folder and drop a file named .ini in the folder. In your Xen.ini file include at the very bottom a line include=mac.ini. The is replaced with the mac address of the thin client. If your using the Wyse Device Manager you can download a tool from FreeWyseMonkeys.com that will query the DB and create the mac.ini files for you for all the devices in the DB. 

I use it to set the terminal name to match the name my corporate office assigned each Xenith when they purchased them.

You may want to use caution with following the recommendation above, as that functionality, while it may work for now, It's only support for ThinOS, not the Xenith platform and may be removed in the future without notice. Go to www.wyse.com/manuals and search for "Documentatio xenith" and you should be able to download the admin guide for Xenith 1.7 and 2.0 for more details.

So what is the recommended method of managing the Xeniths that have different settings if not by using a mac.ini file?

The mac.ini file was actually the solution Wyse support provided when we first purchased the 1400 thin clients.
