Hi.
I would Need a Task to shut down one or more Clients at a certain time.
At the Moment we have an IGEL at as a Display, which i am able to shut down as planned – but it wont boot when scheduled.
So I may replace it with a Wyse, which can be set to boot at a certain time in BIOS (and works in my tests). But I cant shut it down via WMS, I just found Jobs for restart etc… no shutdown..
Is there a way?
WMS has only the option to restart, correct.
WDM has both options, restart and shutdown.CG
Is there any hope of getting a more complete Management tool in the future, like this quite Basic Task?
I`ve seen a lot of different ThinClients by different manufacturers – no solution was particularily good, all had their flaws. But all of them did their Job, some slow others tricky but all Basic things where present. Even those for very cheap devices…
But I never had so much Trouble as I had with Dell – WDM should do what I wanted, but isnt installable under 2016 and a config mess otherwise, you cant even uninstall it properly. WMS is quite easy to install – as those other products – but it is not as mighty as I would imagine it to be – or as I m used to – you cant even Change language and Keyboard layout?
Is there any hope for improvement?
WMS is version 1.0. I think this says it all.
Version 1.1 will be much more complete, although I cannot promise that Reboot will be integrated.CG
I’ve heard something about November this year. However, I cannot confirm.

Well, thats good News…
Is it correct, that scheduled Tasks only work in a timeframe of 90 days? I can NOT have Clients restarted every day, without wondering in two month why they wont?
Another Thing I saw – is there a bug in displaying the online Status? All of my devices are shown as offline, while at least three are definitely online…
In WDM Enterprise you have the option to define reccuring job, like every day at 10pm, etc.

Are you serious?
You will have to have the Enterprise license for such simple things? The cheapest manufacturers of thin Clients do better than this…
I dont see one single Point where a wyse is better than any other TC… I wouldnt buy another one, if Company policy wont force us to buy dell.
I am not making the decission which feature is Workgroup and which Enterprise.
Contact Dell directly and ask for your price for the Enterprise edition.CG
This was not meant as any personal offense – I’m just disappointed by Dell once more.
From selling business Hardware without Support for Standard Enterprise OS over developing impracticable Docking stations to Hardware/Driver combinations producing blue Screens until Version 5…
