Installing WCM Client
The WCM Client is included in supported Windows Embedded thin clients. To update them you can:
•Install them manually on each thin client, as an administrator.
•Deploy them remotely, to multiple thin clients, using the Dell Wyse Device Manager (WDM). Register the WCM Client into WDM and then deploy it to multiple devices remotely. For more information on registering the WCM Client into WDM, see the WDM Administrator’s Guide.
To install the WCM Client manually:
1Log in to the thin client system as an administrator.
2Disable the file based write filter (FBWF).
3Run the Wyse Configuration Manager Agent_LaunchPad.exe file and follow the wizard to install the WCM client.
4Restart the thin client system when prompted.
5When the installation is complete,
The WCM Environment
The WCM environment consists of the following components:
•Repository Server — This is the server where the WCM configuration files are copied and the WCM GUI is installed.
NOTE: You can install the WCM GUI on a separate server and store the WCM configuration files on a separate server.
•DNS/DHCP Server — This is the server where you configure the Domain Name Server (DNS) or the Domain Host Configuration Protocol(DHCP). DNS or DHCP settings are used by the WCM client to find the Repository server with WCM configuration files. For more information, see Discovery Settings for the WCM Server.
•WCM Client Software on Thin Client Systems — These are the thin clients with WCM Client software, which download the configuration files from the repository server.
For WCM to work, you need to configure each of the components.
