Administrator Guide

Managing user accounts
Dell Hybrid Client offers two types of user accounts, Active Directory (AD) user and Guest user.
● AD user—Enables users to connect to the work domain using their Active Directory credentials. For information about
joining AD and authentication, see Joining Active Directory.
● Guest user—Enables users to access Dell Hybrid Client when they do not have an AD account. By default, the guest
account is enabled. If you want to disable, configure, or add a password for the guest account, you must use Wyse
Management Suite. For more information about how to configure a guest account, see Configure a guest user account
properties.
By default, the user list of last logged-in users is not displayed on the login screen. For information about how to view the user
list on the login screen, see Show user list on the Dell Hybrid Client login screen.
Joining Active Directory
Dell Hybrid Client supports user authentication with Active Directory, both local AD and On-prem User Sync with Azure AD.
Active Directory allows an administrator to enable or disable the user authentication to specific domains. Dell Hybrid Client
supports login with Active Directory user. You can also use a smart card to log in as a domain user.
Prerequisites
● Ensure that the DNS server is configured correctly.
● Ensure that the date and time of your Dell Hybrid Client are synchronized with the date and time of the domain server. For
more information about how to configure date and time using Wyse Management Suite, see, Configure the date and time.
● Ensure that the Dell Hybrid Client is registered to Wyse Management Suite.
Steps
1. Log in to Wyse Management Suite.
2. Go to the Groups & Configs page, and select your preferred group.
NOTE: The Domain join SignOn option is available on the default device policy group.
3. Click Edit Policies > Hybrid Client.
The Configuration Control | Hybrid Client page is displayed.
4. Click the Advanced tab.
5. Expand SignOn, and click Domain join.

7. In the Username field, enter the name of the user who has the relevant permission to join a device to Active Directory.
8. In the Password field, enter the password of the user.

10. In the Organizational Unit field, enter the name of your enterprise organizational unit.
For multiple Organizational Units (OUs), you must mention the sublevels that are separated by a forward slash (/). For
example, if the full distinguished name is OU=test,OU=blrtest,OU=blr,DC=blrbrmcloud,DC=com, the OU name
must be specified as /blr/blrtest/test.
11. In the Workgroup field, enter the name of the workgroup specific to your organization.

If the user has logged in to the device, the Restart Now option is displayed. If the device is not in the logged-in state
(locked state or the login screen), the device restarts automatically.
NOTE:
Domain unjoin is not supported on devices that are upgraded from Dell Hybrid Client v1.0.1288 to v1.1.1618.
