    I have recently updated Dell Wyse thin clients model 5040 to firmware version OS_Wed_v8.4_112. I would like to apply the ini command that will allow me to roll back the firmware to older versions so I can do some testing.  However, the command does not seem to work. When ever I try to Roll back the firmware I receive the error message “Invalid Digital Signature”. I tried using the following ini command ( autoload=1 VerifySignature=no). I still receive the same message. Can you tell me the proper syntax of the command?

    What do you see in the ftp log? What version to you want to downgrade to?
    “Autoload=1 VerifySignature=no” is the correct command.

    I am trying to roll back to any firmware version that is older than the version I have applied now. They currently have version (8.4_112 (OS_Web_v8.4_B112_5040). I want to find the firmware version that has the hotfix, that addresses the issue where sometimes an exception cannot be created for a terminal on the Dell Wyse Management Suite. I am also trying to change the default reconnect from 20 seconds to 1 second. Ini Config

    And which version should that be?
    Has anyone told you about a fix? I haven’t even heard about the issues you are talking about.

    When I spoke to dell I was told if I didn’t want to apply all the firm ware I was told to apply them firmware in the following order (8.3_109,8.4_009, and then 8.4_112)  I was told one of these had a hotfix to fix that issue. Sometimes on Wyse management suite If I want to create an exception for one device in a group the screen does not load. below is an example. That’s why I want to roll back the firmware. I want to apply all of them and see if it fixes that issue.

    Is that with WMS 1.1?

    I think this is more a WMS issue than ThinOS.
    Upgrade WMS to 1.1 and test again.

    Hello Jason.  Wondering if you made any progress with this?  I am attempting to downgrade a single device using an exception using the AutoLoad=1 VerifySignature=no parameters in my WMS config for the device.  The device appears to ignore this though and I always get the invalid signature warning.  Did upgrading to WMS 1.1 help?
