Introduction
Dell Wyse Configuration Manager (WCM) is an innovative self-configuring
client technology for the cloud and Dell Wyse Enhanced Embedded virtual
desktop environments. WCM provides a simple solution to create and apply
configuration files to Dell Wyse thin clients running supported Microsoft
Windows Embedded operating systems.
WCM is mainly used by IT Administrators who create configuration files
using a simple standalone GUI or capture them from an already configured
Dell Wyse thin client running a supported Windows Embedded operating
system. The thin client system connects to the remote file folder location that
contains the configuration file and downloads the same to update the
configuration. WCM enables configuration of multitude of thin clients
without a management server.
This guide is intended for administrators of Wyse thin clients running
WES2009, WES7, WES7p, or WE8S. It provides the necessary information
for using the tool to create and apply configuration files to Wyse thin clients.
The supported Windows Embedded operating systems are:
• Wyse Embedded Standard 2009 (WES2009)
