On occasion you will need to edit the hosts file on your machine.
in windows you go to : c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hostsbut does ThinOS have hostfile? and can i edit it like this?
10.90.91.10 server-HB-01.hb.local

June 27, 2019 at 7:44 pm #50125There is no local editing of the Hosts file.
However, you can create a host file, copy it either to WMS or your fileserver and load it via policy or INI parameter.CG

July 2, 2019 at 5:15 pm #50162You can find a PDF in the Downloads section under ThinOS called “First steps”.
Use that one to set up a fileserver with the correct folder structure. Then copy the host file to that server and add Hosts=your_hosts_filename to your wnos.ini.CG

I’ve read the TechGuide PDF.
i’m affraid dat this doesn’t apply to our situation.
We use the Wyse Management Suite to manage all the thinclient.you say before:

Any idea how or which parameter i can use ?

Do not use “Advanced”, but “Hosts (8.6+)”. It is one category above.CG

November 14, 2019 at 12:00 pm #51203Go to Apps&Data – File Repository-Inventory and upload your hosts.txt file (same format as the Windows hosts file).
After that, you can use it within the policies.CG
