VDI clients support
Dell Hybrid Client supports Citrix, VMware, RDP connections, and File Type Association (FTA). Users can add multiple
connections to access desktop or applications on VDI servers. File Type Association can also be configured with VDI
applications.
Known issue and expected behavior
The following are the known issues and expected behavior of the VDI clients with Dell Hybrid Client:
● You must create a connection using FQDN and time should be synchronized with RDP server domain to use SSO with RDP.
NOTE: SSO is supported from Windows 10 operating system and Windows server 2016.
● For VMware FTA, administrator must provide file extensions and respective application names from Wyse Management
Suite. However, for Citrix and RDP FTA settings, Extensions and Application name that is configured from Citrix and RDP
Broker agent server is fetched automatically after your login. While launching files from explorer, matching application opens
the files automatically based on the file type.
● After changing the keyboard layout, you must sign out from the current session for the changes to reflect inside the session.
● Citrix session launch from the Chrome browser is not supported. It is supported only from the Firefox browser. Desktop and
application files are downloaded, and launched.
Local applications support
By default, the following applications are installed on your Dell Hybrid Client:
● VLC Media Player—Enables you to play most of the multimedia files.
● Image Viewer—Enables you to open most of the image files.
● Libre Office—Enables you to view, create, or edit text documents, spreadsheets, presentations, drawings, and compose a
mathematical formula.
Network drives
Network drives can be configured from Wyse Management Suite with different protocols such as FTPS, SMB, and CIFS. Based
on the user requirement user can create drives with anonymous mode or with credentials.
Known issues and expected behavior
Users cannot manually enter the credentials while accessing the network drives. Credentials must be configured using the Wyse
Management Suite server while creating the drives.
Device settings
Users can view and modify the device settings locally using the device settings. Local Settings which are configured using Wyse
Management Suite policy are reflected and the same can be modified and saved by the user. The following are the device
settings that can be configured:
