that are managed by Wyse Management Suite:

○ Standard Application Policy
○ Only certificate policy
You must do the following to install Dell Hybrid Client on the device:
1. Register the device to Wyse Management Suite using one of the following methods:
○
Register automatically by configuring the appropriate option tags on the DHCP server. See, Registering Dell Hybrid
Client by using DHCP option tags.
○ Register automatically by configuring the appropriate DNS SRV records on the DNS server. See, Registering Dell
Hybrid Client by using DNS SRV record.
○ Register using manual discovery method (reg.json). See the Register Dell Hybrid Client by using manual discovery
method section in Dell Wyse Management Suite Administrator's Guide at www.dell.com/support.

Depending on the version of the Dell Hybrid Client software that you have installed on your device, configure the following
options when you start Dell Hybrid Client for the first time:
● Devices powered by Dell Hybrid Client version 1.5—A random GRUB password is generated. As an administrator, you
must change the GRUB password using Wyse Management Suite. There is no provision to change the Bremen password
as you can use GRUB password itself to access the Bremen account for managing sudo or elevated privileges. For more
information about how to change GRUB password, see Enable GRUB menu password protection.
● Devices powered by Dell Hybrid Client version 1.1—As an administrator, you must change the default GRUB password
and Bremen password using Wyse Management Suite. For more information about how to change GRUB password and
Bremen password, see Enable GRUB menu password protection and Configure the Bremen password.
