    hello all,
    I’ve been given a task to implement vdi in our classrooms. Boss doesn’t want to use a connection broker. We have esx 3.5 servers to use for the virtual machines. The tags was put in dhcp to point to the ftp server. Now…what ini file do i need. From what he told me there can be an ini file that has a list of mac addresses (wyse terms) that point to a vd on the esx server? but how? Any direction would be greatly appreciated. We do not have AD or Citrix here to authenticate either. Is this possible?
    TIA
    Jim 😀

    OK, here is the deal:
    – create a folder called wysewnos on your ftp server (or similar depending on the option tag you’ve already implemented)
    – place a general wnos.ini file there (eg. KB layout, ….) and a parameter called “Include=$mac”
    – create a subfolder called inc
    – place files called unitmacaddress. in there (no extension and unique for each unit)
    – these files shold contain the connection settings to each VMware session.

    That’s all

    ok i got part of it to work. in the event log it is showing “including:wmos/inc/macaddy.ini” but it isn’t taking the setting to connect via rdp. Could I possibly need an update? It’s running at 6.0.0_14 currently.
    Thanks!

    Have you named your mac.ini file really macaddy.ini?
    If you are using Include=$mac you have to use a name similar to 008064123456.
    No extension. One file for each mac address.
