Dell ThinOS 10.x Migration Guide
Register devices to WMS
ThinOS Automated Deployment enables streamlined provisioning of thin client devices by allowing them to automatically receive configurations and software updates upon connecting to the network. This process is managed through centralized tools such as WMS or designated file servers. WMS facilitates the automated deployment of ThinOS devices by defining and applying key environmental settings, ensuring consistent and efficient device configuration across the enterprise.
NOTE:DHCP and DNS SRV configurations for WMS can
only function if your device is not already registered.
NOTE:If both WMS server and secure WMS server are
set, the secure WMS server takes priority. If both a unique group token key
and a secure unique group token key are set, the secure token key takes
priority.

The DHCP and DNS values also have to be configured with case-sensitive values. | Option 199 (String) | Option 19900 (String) | _WMS_GROUPTOKEN (Text) |
| WMS Group Token | Specifies a secure unique key that is used by WMS to associate the ThinOS client to the device group Policy. | Option 202 (String) | Option 20200 (String) | _WMS_GROUPTOKENV2 (Text) |
NOTE:It is recommended that you do not define more than one
type of management or configuration delivery method.
NOTE:If the Group Token parameter is not specified,
the device is moved to the unmanaged group or quarantine group. This is
applicable for On-premises WMS.
