Dell Wyse ThinOS Version 8.5 Hotfix Administrator’s Guide

PDF

Getting started

ThinOS supports the headless mode that enables you to boot the operating system without a monitor.

ThinOS is centrally managed and configured using INI files to automatically push updates and any desired default configuration to thin clients in your environment—see Central configuration: Automating updates and configurations.

If no INI files are detected, you can use local dialog boxes on each thin client to configure the settings. Many of these locally configured settings such as resolution, mouse, and keyboard are saved on ThinOS to persist after reboot. However, once INI files are detected, rebooting the client causes ThinOS to become stateless, and ignores the locally configured settings after a reboot. The settings contained in the INI file are used.
