The <value> may be set as the required value for the particular key. Here are a few examples:
set_custom_info "Custom3:$somevariable"
set_custom_info "Location:$somevariable" "Custom1:$somevariable2"
Example as a script:
Location_name=$(dnsdomainname |cut -f1 -d'.')
# get machine ID and assign to variable
machID=$(cat '/etc/machine-id')
# set Location at location and machine ID in custom info 3
set_custom_info "Custom3:$machID" "location:$Location_name"
● Custom values for registry location can be set from Wyse Management Suite, using the .sh and .py files. You can create a
Standard Application policy and push it from Wyse Management Suite.
NOTE: The custom info values set from Wyse Management Suite device policy settings have higher priority over values set
locally by using the set-custom-info command.
Power Control Settings option
Added the Power Control Settings option in Wyse Management Suite policy settings. To access the option, go to Device/
User Policy Group > Personalization > Desktop > Power Control Settings. The options under Power Control Settings
are as below:
● Power off—Turn off the toggle key to disable shutdown option.
● Restart—Turn off the toggle key to disable reboot option.
● Suspend—Turn off the toggle key to disable suspend option.
● Logout—Turn off the toggle key to disable logout option.
The options under Power Control Settings are enabled by default, and can be restricted from the Device Policy Group and
User Policy Group level of Wyse Management Suite.
NOTE:
The Power Control Settings option prelogin can be restricted from Wyse Management Suite policy settings. To
restrict the option, go to Device Policy Group > Advanced > Login Experience > Login screen power options > GDM
login screen power off. The GDM login screen power off option is enabled by default.
Auto Time Zone option
Added the Auto Time Zone option in Wyse Management Suite policy settings. To access the Auto Time Zone option, go
to Device/User Policy Group > Advanced > Region & Language Settings > Region and Time > Auto Time Zone. This
option is enabled by default, and updates the system time automatically, depending upon the geographical location. Time
Format can be set as 12 Hours or 24 Hours. The Wyse Management Suite administrator can disable the Auto Time Zone
option and configure the Time Zone and Time Format.
Installed Apps Listing in Wyse Management Suite
All applications deployed in Dell Hybrid Client including the third-party applications, and DHC-bundle information are displayed
in System Information on the local device. The same information is displayed in Devices > Installed Apps section of Wyse
Management Suite.
Limitations
● If the dock is set to auto hide when you connect to the VNC session, moving the mouse cursor to top does not display the
dock.
● Reimaging Dell Hybrid Client device does not preserve previously installed application and user data.
● When the mouse cursor size is changed from Device Settings, logoff and login is required for the change to take effect.
● The GRUB password must be minimum of nine characters from Wyse Management Suite, due to security reasons.
