Administrator Guide

• Support for Multiple Databases - Multiple database supports when installing WDM for either an SQL 2008 or 2012 environment,
allows you to use your existing back-end infrastructure.
• Active Directory Integration - Allows you to easily import WDM user groups or individual users from your existing Active Directory
setup.
• Peer Assisted Deployment - Peer Assisted Deployment (PAD) is a mechanism that provides updates such as base images and add-ons
to thin client devices that are managed through the WDM server. This mechanism works best in an environment where the devices are
spread across multiple subnets.
The PAD feature is applicable to the following platforms:
– Windows 10 IoT Enterprise
– SUSE Linux
– Windows Embedded Standard 7 (WES7)
– Windows Embedded 8 Standard (WE8S)
– ThinLinux
• Prole Manager - PM enables you to deploy a predened conguration on a specied group of devices. These congurations are those
that you create using the Dell Wyse Conguration Manager (WCM) and save them in a specied repository. The congurations of the
Prole manager are unique for an Operating System, and you can apply only one conguration on a single group of devices at any given
time.
• Chargeback Accounting - This feature is supported on Windows, Linux, and Wyse Thin OS (ThinOS) devices. It collects and stores
remote session.
