Ubuntu to ThinOS Conversion

You can convert Dell commercial generic client device with full Ubuntu to ThinOS from WMS 3.7. For this release, Dell Latitude 3420 Thin Client is validated.

To create the application policy (standard or advanced) with conversion Firmware (ThinOS_9.3), WMS must have unconsumed/free ThinOS Activation License. If there are no ThinOS Activation Licenses or all ThinOS Activation licenses are consumed then the application policy cannot be created with the conversion Firmware (ThinOS_9.3).

When ThinOS Conversion firmware is selected in the App policy, then platform filter must be select. The platforms list under platform filter in the app policy page is auto populated as per the ThinOS Conversion Firmware. When a particular ThinOS Conversion Firmware is selected in an app policy, only the platforms which are supported by the firmware is displayed.
NOTE You must select all Latitude 3420 platforms from the platform filter.

The DCA_Enabler must be updated on the Ubuntu client and then the ThinOS_Ubuntu_Installer and the ThinOS Conversion Firmware (ThinOS package) must be pushed from WMS in sequence.

The DCA_Enabler and the ThinOS_Ubuntu_Installer packages can be uploaded from the Apps & Data > Generic Client App Inventory page and the ThinOS Conversion Firmware (ThinOS package) can be uploaded from the Apps & Data > ThinOS OS Repository > Add Firmware File

Alternatively the DCA_Enabler and the ThinOS_Ubuntu_Installer packages can be copied to the Local Or Remote Repository > Repository > genericClientApps and the ThinOS Conversion Firmware (ThinOS package) can be copied to the thinOSConfigFiles folder.

After the device is converted to ThinOS, appropriate events and serial number will be generated for the device MAC. A WMS administrator can also generate a device report to see the converted device list. Device Converted column shows TRUE for the converted devices.
