Managing thin client inventory
This section allows you to view and manage an application inventory for your thin client.
To manage a thin client inventory, do the following:
1 Click the Apps and Data tab on the Wyse Management Suite portal.
2 In the left pane, go to App Inventory > Thin Client.
Application details are displayed in the Thin Client Inventory window.
3 To add an application to the inventory, do the following:
a Place the thin client application les in the <repo-dir>\repository\thinClientApps folder.
Wyse Management Suite Repository sends metadata for all les to the Wyse Management Suite server periodically.
b Place the Windows Embedded Standard imaging les in the <repo-dir>\repository\osImages\Zippedfolder.
The image is automatically extracted and placed in a valid folder. The image is listed in the WES image inventory.
Deploying applications to thin clients
The standard application policy allows you to install a single application package and requires reboot before and after installing each
application. Using the advanced application policy, you can install multiple application packages with only two reboots. The advanced
application policy also supports execution of pre and post installation scripts that may be needed to install a particular application. For more
information, see Appendix B.
Creating and deploying advanced application policy to thin
clients
To deploy an advanced application policy to thin clients, do the following:
1 Copy the application and the pre/post install scripts (if necessary) to deploy to the thin clients in the thinClientApps folder in the local
repository or the Wyse Management Suite repository.
2 Go to Apps&Data > AppInventory and select Thin Client to verify if the application is registered.
3 Click Thin Client under App Policies.
4 Click Add Advanced Policy.
