6. Use the standard application policy or the advanced application policy to deploy the unsigned application to Dell Hybrid

on Wyse Management Suite. You must use the .sh file as a prescript file—cp /etc/WMSApps/taskbar.mp4 /home/
test1@DHC.COM/Documents.
a. Copy the MP4 file and the prescript file to C:\WMS\LocalRepo\repository\hybridClientApps path.
b. On Wyse Management Suite, go to Apps & Data, and click Hybrid Client in the App Polices section.
c. Click Advanced Policy.
d. Enter the policy name.
e. From the Group drop-down list, select your preferred group.
f. From the Task drop-down list, select Install Application.
g. From the OS Type drop-down list, select Hybrid Client.
h. Click Add app and do the following:
i. From the Apps drop-down list, select the MP4 file.
ii. From the Pre-Install drop-down list, select the .sh file.
iii. Specify the install timeout period.
i. Save and deploy the policy to the device.
j. After successful deployment, open File Explorer on Dell Hybrid Client and verify if the MP4 file is available in the
Documents folder.
