Dell Wyse Management Suite Version 3.x and 4.x Quick Start Guide

Installing Wyse Management Suite on private cloud

Prerequisites

  • Obtain and configure all the required hardware and software. You can download the Wyse Management Suite software from downloads.dell.com/wyse/wms.
  • Install a supported server operating system on one or more server machines.
  • Ensure that the systems are up to date with current Microsoft service packs, patches, and updates.
  • Ensure that the latest version of the supported browser is installed.
  • Obtain administrator rights and credentials on all systems that are involved in the installation procedures.
  • For the Pro features, obtain a valid Wyse Management Suite license. Standard edition does not require a license.
  • Ensure that there is enough space on the drive where Wyse Management Suite is installed and the local repository is configured.
  • If you have installed or configured any anti-virus or other monitoring tools on the Wyse Management Suite setup, Dell Technologies recommends that you disable the tools temporarily till the upgrade is complete. You can also add appropriate exclusion to Wyse Management Suite install directory, temporary directory, and local repository directory.

About this task

A simple installation of Wyse Management Suite consists of the following:
  • Wyse Management Suite server (includes repository for application and operating system images)
  • Optional—Additional Wyse Management Suite repository servers (repositories for additional images, applications, and AD authentication)
  • Optional—HTTPS certificate from a Certificate Authority such as www.geotrust.com/

Steps

  1. Double-click the installer package.
  2. On the Welcome screen, click Next.
    The EULA details are displayed.
    NOTE:This screen is displayed only on Wyse Management Suite version 3.1 or later.
  3. Read the license agreement.
  4. Select the I accept the terms in the license agreement check box and click Next.
  5. On the Setup Type page, select the components that you want to install, and click Next. The available options are:
    • Wyse Management Suite—There are two setup types available for Wyse Management Suite components.

      • Custom—Requires maximum user interactions and is recommended for advanced users. For more information, see Custom installation.
    • Teradici EM SDK—Teradici EM SDK components are installed as a service.
    NOTE:A notification window is displayed, when the Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration feature is enabled. To disable this feature, select the Turn off IE Enhanced Security Configuration check box on the Setup Type page.
    If EM SDK is installed on the server along with Wyse Management Suite from a previous installation, the Teradici EM SDK components are updated automatically.
  6. Select Typical as the Setup Type.
  7. Enter the new Database Credentials for the embedded databases and new Administrator Credentials and click Next.
    NOTE:The administrator credentials are required to log in to the Wyse Management Suite web console after the installation.
  8. On the Configuration page, do the following:
    1. Configure the shared folder and access rights for the CIFS user. The available options are:
      • Use an Existing User—Select this option to validate credentials for the existing user.
      • Create a New user—Select this option and enter the credentials to create a new user.

        The password must be more than eight characters.

        NOTE:If the Teradici EM SDK option is enabled on the Setup Type page, you can configure the port for the Teradici server on the Configuration page.
    2. Click Next.
      The Service Account Credentials screen is displayed with the following options:
      • Create a New Local User—Select this option to enter credentials and create a new local user with least privileges. The new user is added to the Users group, but the user will not have administrator rights.
        NOTE:The username that you enter in the Service Account Credentials screen must not be the same as your Teradici username. The username must be 2 to 20 characters. Your password must be 9 to 127 characters with at least one upper case, one lower case, one number, and one special character. Spaces are not allowed in the password.
      • Use an Existing Local User—Select this option to enter the credentials of an existing local user. A message is displayed when you select this option. Ensure that the user already exists, has service logon rights (SeServiceLogonRight), and has successfully logged in at least once to the system. Dell Technologies recommends ensuring that the user does not carry administrative rights.
        NOTE:If you select this option, the complexity of the password is not verified and the username that you enter must be 2 to 20 characters.

  10. Browse to the location where you want to install the software and the local tenant file repository, and then click Next.
    The default path of the destination folder to install the software is C:\Program Files\DELL\WMS.
  11. Click Next.
    The Pre-Installation Summary page is displayed.

    NOTE:You must enter valid SMTP server information to receive email notifications from the Wyse Management Suite.
  17. Import your SSL certificate to secure communications with the Wyse Management Suite server. Enter the public, private, and Apache certificate and click the Import button. Importing the certificate takes three minutes to configure and restart Tomcat services. You can skip this screen and complete this setup or make changes later in the console by logging in to the Wyse Management Suite private cloud and importing from the Portal Administration page.
    NOTE:

    By default, the Wyse Management Suite imports the self-signed SSL certificate that is generated during the installation to secure communication between the client and the Wyse Management Suite server. If you do not import a valid certificate for your Wyse Management Suite server, a security warning message is displayed when you access the Wyse Management Suite from a machine other than the server where it is installed. This warning message is displayed because the self-signed certificate that is generated during installation is not signed by a Certificate Authority such as geotrust.com. You can either import a .pem or .pfx certificate.
