Administrator Guide

Conguration policies are published immediately, and cannot be scheduled for a later time. Few policy changes, for example display settings,
may force a reboot.
Application and operating system image deployment—Applications and operating system image updates can be deployed from the Apps
& Data tab. Applications are deployed based on the policy groups.
NOTE: Advanced application policy allows you to deploy an application to the current and all subgroups based on your
requirement. Operating system images can be deployed to the current group only.
Wyse Management Suite supports standard and advanced application policies. A standard application policy allows you to install a single
application package. The device restarts during installing an application. You need to reboot the device before and after each application
installation. With an advanced application policy, multiple application packages can be installed with only two reboots. This feature is
available only in the Pro edition. Advanced application policies also support execution of pre-and-post installation scripts that may be
needed to install a particular application.
You can congure standard and advanced application policies to be applied automatically when a device is registered with Wyse
Management Suite or when a device is moved to a new group.
Deployment of application policies and operating system images to thin clients can be scheduled immediately or later based on the device
time zone or any other specied time zone.
Inventory of devices—This option can be located by clicking the Devices tab. By default, this option displays a paginated list of all the
devices in the system. You can choose to view a subset of devices by using various lter criteria, such as groups or subgroups, device type,
operating system type, status, subnet, and platform or time zone.
To navigate to the Device Details page for that device, click the device entry listed on this page. All the details of the device are displayed.
The Device Details page also displays all the conguration parameters that are applicable to that device, and also the group level at which
each parameter is applied.
This page also enables to set conguration parameters that are specic to that device by enabling the Device Exceptions button.
Parameters congured in this section override any parameters that were congured at the groups and/or global level.
Reports—You can generate and view canned reports based on the predened lters. To generate canned reports, click the Reports tab on
the Portal Admin page
Mobile application—You can receive alert notications and manage devices using the mobile application—Dell Mobile Agent available for
the Android devices. To download the mobile application and the Dell Mobile Agent Getting Started Guide, click the Alerts and
Classication tab on the Portal Admin page.
