Dell Wyse ThinOS Version 8.5 Administrator’s Guide

ThinOS is centrally managed and configured using INI files to automatically push updates and any desired default configuration to all supported 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 make available configurations. ThinOS will save many of these locally configured settings such as resolution, mouse, and keyboard to persist after reboot. However, once INI files are detected, rebooting causes ThinOS to become stateless while ignoring locally configured settings after a reboot and then the settings contained in the INI file will be used.
