Hi,
I am configuring a WYSE S10 thin client, and have been told that there is a way to configure it so that when a user logs off from their terminal session the thin client shuts down. At the moment when logging off the user is shown the screen where you can configure various aspects of the device.
I’ve read something about .ini files and a Device Configuration Manager. Do I need both of these things? Where does the .ini file need to go? What do I need to configure in the .ini file?
All responses will be greatly appreciated.
Danny
Hi Danny,
to create the ini file use my Configuration Generator (see footer).
The parameter you are looking for is called
AutoSignoff=yes Shutdown=yes
Shutdowncounter=1
This will shutdown the unit after the last session is logged off. It will wait for 1 second before doing so.
Put the wnos.ini on a FTP server in the folder ftproot/wnos/
On the client go to Network Preferences-Server and just enter the IP of the FTP in the Fileserver field. That’s all.Regards
CGCool, I will give it a go today. Many thanks for the reply, I’ll post back if I have any problems.
As a side note do you know of any good resources that will explain the .ini files / client settings in more depth? I cannot seem to find any that offer up more than a couple of words description. Frustrating!
The only thing that is available is my tool and a PDF with all parameters listed. Both can be found on my website.

Will this only work if the Terminal Server session is closed using ‘Shut Down’ as opposed to ‘Log Off’? I ask because I’ve set these options and it isn’t shutting down the device. It is definately picking up the wnos.ini file as I’ve set other options in there that show up on the device.
should 100% work with Logoff
Post your ini file for troubleshooting
Hi,
We disable the Shutdown command via Group Policy so the only option for the user at present is to Log Off.
Here is the ini file:

OK, the issue is that you haven’t configure an ICA session here. Add one as a published application. This only works for published apps not for direct server connections.
Could look like this then:;*************************************************************

Ok as a complete newbie (you probably guessed!) I don’t completely understand. We use RDP, does this mean we cannot use automatic shut down?
What is the difference between ICA session and RDP session?
works fine with RDP also.
RDP = MS Terminal Server
ICA = Citrix Presentation ServerJust replace the Connection=ICA part with this one ( or simliar, of course)
