Upgrading Wyse Device Agent using Wyse
Management Suite application policy
Dell recommends that you use the Wyse Management Suite application for upgrading Wyse Device Agent on devices. In the Wyse
Management Suite private cloud setup, the latest Wyse Device Agent packages for Windows Embedded Standard are available in the local
repository. If you are using a public cloud or a remote repository on a private cloud, copy the WDA.exe le to the thinClientApps folder in the
repository. To upgrade Wyse Device Agent, do the following:
1 After the WDA.exe le is copied to the repository, go to the Apps and Data section, and create a normal application policy with this
package.
NOTE
: Advanced application policy is supported only from Wyse Device Agent 14.x onwards. Dell recommends that you
use the normal application policy when upgrading Wyse Device Agent from 14.x. You can also use the advanced
application policy for upgrading Wyse Device Agent from 14.x to latest versions.
2 Go to the Jobs page, and schedule a job to upgrade the Wyse Device Agent.
NOTE
: For upgrading Windows Embedded Standard Wyse Device Agent from 13.x version to 14.x version, Dell
recommends that you use HTTP as the repository protocol.
After a successful installation, the status is sent to the server.
Installing Wyse Device Agent manually
To install Wyse Device Agent manually, do the following:
1 Copy the WDA.exe le to the thin client.
2 Double-click the WDA.exe le.
