Important Notes:

  • Some features and product environments are marked as “Not Qualified” as Dell Technologies hasn’t tested them with other users.
  • Future releases will remove outdated and less secure TLS ciphers to enhance ThinOS security.
  • TLS cipher lists are provided, indicating their security status, removal, or potential changes in future releases.
  • After an upgrade, the device may display a black screen, which a reboot can resolve.
  • Changing the Wyse Management Suite group token in ThinOS 2303 and later versions may require a reboot.
  • The Live Update option’s status affects the ability to download and install firmware or packages; in ThinOS 2303, Live Update is disabled, but downloads occur in specific scenarios.
  • Installing the HID_Fingerprint_Reader package also requires installing the Citrix_Workspace_App package to upgrade to the latest ThinOS version successfully.
  • Configured settings, such as brokers, in ThinOS 2308 may be lost when downgrading to ThinOS 2205 or earlier versions using Wyse Management Suite. Manual rebooting is required to set passwords again, or they may become corrupted.
