Editions
Wyse Management Suite is available in the following editions:
● Standard (Free)—The Standard edition of the Wyse Management Suite offers basic functionalities and is available for
a private cloud deployment. A license key is not required to use the Standard edition. This version can manage Dell Thin
Clients. The Standard edition is suitable for small and medium businesses.
● Pro (Paid)—The Pro edition of the Wyse Management Suite is a more robust solution. It is available for both public and
private cloud deployment. A license key is required to use the Pro edition (subscription-based licensing). With the Pro
solution, organizations can adopt a hybrid model and float licenses between private and public clouds if needed. This version
is required to manage any Teradici-based devices, Wyse Covert for PCs, and Dell Hybrid Client powered devices. It also
offers more advanced features to manage Dell thin clients. For a public cloud deployment, the Pro edition can be managed
on non-corporate networks (home office, third party, partners, mobile thin clients, and so on). The pro edition of the Wyse
Management Suite also provides:
○ A mobile application to view critical alerts, notifications, and send commands in real time.
1
○ Enhanced security through two-factor authentication and active directory authentication for role-based administration.
○ Advanced app policy and reporting.
NOTE:
○ Cloud services are hosted in the US and Germany. Customers in countries with data residency restrictions may not
be able to take advantage of the Wyse management Suite pro cloud-based service.
○ The on-premise version of the Wyse management pro edition is a better solution for customers with data residency
restrictions.

About this task
● The Dashboard page provides information about each functional area of the system.
● The Groups & Configs page employs a hierarchical group policy management for device configuration. Optionally,
subgroups of the global group policy can be created to categorize devices according to corporate standards. For example,
devices may be grouped based on job functions, device type, bring-your-own-device, and so on.
● The Devices page enables you to view and manage devices, device types, and device-specific configurations.

configuration, license subscription, active directory configuration, and two-factor authentication. For more information, see
Dell Wyse Management Suite Administrator’s Guide at support.dell.com.
Configuring and managing thin clients
Configuration management—Wyse Management Suite supports a hierarchy of groups and subgroups. Groups can be created
manually or automatically based on rules defined by the system administrator. You can organize based on the functional groups,
for example marketing, sales, and engineering, or based on the location hierarchy, for example, country, state, and city.
NOTE:
20 Installing Wyse Management Suite on private cloud
In the pro edition, system administrators can add rules to create groups. They can also assign devices to an existing group
depending on the device attributes such as subnet, time zone, and location.
You can also configure the following:
● Settings or policies that apply to all devices in the tenant account which are set at the Default Policy group. These settings
and policies are the global set of parameters that all groups and subgroups inherit from.
● Settings or parameters that are configured at lower-level groups take precedence over the settings that were configured at
the parent or higher-level groups.
● Parameters that are specific to a particular device which can be configured from the Device Details page. These
parameters, like lower-level groups, take precedence over the settings configured in the higher-level groups.
Configuration parameters are deployed to all devices in that group and all the subgroups, when the administrator creates and
publishes the policy.
After a configuration is published and propagated to the devices, the settings are not sent again to the devices until the
administrator makes a change. New devices that are registered, receive the configuration policy that is effective for the group
to which it was registered. This includes the parameters inherited from the global group and intermediate level groups.
Configuration 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. 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 configure 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 specified 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. The administrator can choose to view a subset of devices by using various filter 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 configuration parameters that are applicable to that device, and also the group
level at which each parameter is applied.
This page also enables the administrators to set configuration parameters that are specific to that device by enabling the
Device Exceptions button. Parameters configured in this section override any parameters that were configured at the groups
and/or global level.
Reports—Administrators can generate and view canned reports based on the predefined filters. To generate canned reports,
click the Reports tab on the Portal Administration page
Mobile application—Administrator can receive alert notifications and manage devices using mobile application available for the
Android devices. To download the mobile application and the quick start guide, click the Alerts and Classification tab on the
Portal Administration page.
Creating policy group and updating configuration
To create a policy and to update the configuration, do the following:
1. Log in as an administrator.
2. To create a policy group, do the following:
a. Select Groups & Configs, and click the + button on the left pane.
