Configuration management—Wyse Management Suite
supports a hierarchy of groups and subgroups. Groups can be created
manually or automatically based on rules defined by the system administrator.
You can organize based on the functional groups, for example marketing,
sales, and engineering, or based on the location hierarchy, for example,
country, state, and city.
NOTE:
In the pro edition, system administrators can add rules to create
groups. They can also assign devices to an existing group depending
on the device attributes such as subnet, time zone, and location.
You can also configure the following:
Settings or policies that apply to all devices in the tenant account
which are set at the Default Policy group. These settings and policies
are the global set of parameters that all groups and subgroups inherit
from.
Settings or parameters that are configured at lower-level groups
take precedence over the settings that were configured at the parent
or higher-level groups.
Parameters that are specific to a particular device which
can be configured from the Device Details page. These parameters, like lower-level groups, take precedence
over the settings configured in the higher-level groups.
Configuration parameters are deployed to all devices
in that group and all the subgroups, when the administrator creates
and publishes the policy.
After a configuration is published and propagated
to the devices, the settings are not sent again to the devices until
the administrator makes a change. New devices that are registered,
receive the configuration policy that is effective for the group to
which it was registered. This includes the parameters inherited from
the global group and intermediate level groups.
Configuration policies are published immediately,
and cannot be scheduled for a later time. Few policy changes, for
example display settings, may force a reboot.
Application and operating system image deployment—Applications and operating system image updates can be deployed
from the Apps & Data tab. Applications
are deployed based on the policy groups.
NOTE:Advanced application
policy allows you to deploy an application to the current and all
subgroups based on your requirement. Operating system images can be
deployed to the current group only.
Wyse Management Suite supports standard and advanced
application policies. A standard application policy allows you to
install a single application package. You need to reboot the device
before and after each application installation. With an advanced application
policy, multiple application packages can be installed with only two
reboots. This feature is available only in the pro edition. Advanced
application policies also support execution of pre and post installation
scripts that may be needed to install a particular application.
You can configure standard and advanced application
policies to be applied automatically when a device is registered with
Wyse Management Suite or when a device is moved to a new group.
Deployment of application policies and operating system
images to thin clients can be scheduled immediately or later based
on the device time zone or any other specified time zone.
Inventory of devices—This option can be located
by clicking the Devices tab. By default, this
option displays a paginated list of all the devices in the system.
The administrator can choose to view a subset of devices by using
various filter criteria, such as groups or subgroups, device type,
operating system type, status, subnet, and platform or time zone.
To navigate to the Device Details page for that device, click the device entry listed on this page.
All the details of the device are displayed.
The Device Details page also displays all the configuration parameters that are applicable
to that device, and also the group level at which each parameter is
applied.
This page also enables the administrators to set configuration
parameters that are specific to that device by enabling the Device Exceptions button. Parameters configured in this
section override any parameters that were configured at the groups
and/or global level.
Reports—Administrators can generate and view
canned reports based on the predefined filters. To generate canned
reports, click the Reports tab on the Portal Administration page
Mobile application—Administrator can receive
alert notifications and manage devices using mobile application available
for the Android devices. To download the mobile application and the
quick start guide, click the Alerts and Classification tab on the Portal Administration page.
