After some help,
Recently moved to WMS on Wyse 3040’s running 8.6.019. (Approx 2500 of them)
WMS is set to DDC monitor settings, however we have a few different model screens.
Some users want to set the res differently from the automatic, they can change locally, but when the terminal is re-booted it defaults to the DDC res setting.
Has anyone had this issue and found a solution? When running WDM this never seemed to be an issue.
In WMS I know I can set resolutions manually for the policy group, but for 99% the automatic monitor detection and recommended resolution is correct, its just these few with bad eyes etc that want to beef up the res on their terminal.
I don’t want to have to start setting up policy groups for a few users so any help with getting manual local res settings to stick after re-boot on the clients would be a huge help.
May 16, 2019 at 9:57 pm #49832Are you using WMS Pro or Standard?

May 16, 2019 at 10:03 pm #49834Im using the Standard version on private cloud….
May 17, 2019 at 10:02 am #49836Then you have to use the “Advanced” section to enter INI parameter directly.
Add
ManualOverride=yes Components=”Display”
and the local settings from the users are saved.CG
July 23, 2019 at 1:21 pm #50403Jedi Master or any1 else, we have a simular issue like the topicstarter.
We also have 3040 and use WMS standard.
If we configure display settings in WMS, the personal ini’s (with specific resolution settings) will be ignored and overruled by wms. Do you know how to configure a specific resolution per user with a ini and not via gui?
We want to use the {username.ini} for the custom screen resolutions, while maintaining a universal thin client resolution config.
July 24, 2019 at 2:48 pm #50412I believe you will need the following entry to allow users to override local settings on the device. In WMS Public Cloud this is a firmware 8.6+ version setting
ManualOverride=yes \
components=Options monitor=yes mouse=yes keyboard=yes timezone=no printer=yes audio=yes network=yesI don’t want my users overriding the timezone setting because i have subgroup policies per region that set the time zone.
July 25, 2019 at 11:29 am #50419That is funny, we dont have the option “Device Settings (8.6+) in our WMS 1.4.
Is that a PRO-version option?
That is also the reason we’re using the “central configuration” option to do this via the wnos.ini. At first your options:
ManualOverride=yes \
components=Options monitor=yes mouse=yes keyboard=yes timezone=no printer=yes audio=yes network=yesare not working yet on our configuration sad enough.
July 25, 2019 at 12:09 pm #50424username.ini files are currently not supported by WMS.
If you want to use them, you would have to modify your WMS server to be your fileserver. Step-by-step guide is in the WMS Troubleshooting guide on the Downloads page.The correct syntax would be
ManualOverride=yes Components=”Printer,Network,Mouse,Keyboard,Display,Audio”CG
July 25, 2019 at 3:15 pm #50434Okay did what you asked about the step-by-step guide.
Unfortunately not the result we hoped for,
Tested with Mouseswap=yes in the user.ini, and that works. So the setup we have seems to work.
Resolution settings in the user.ini
Screen=1 Resolution=1280×720
Screen=2 Resolution=1280×720Does not work and looks like it is overruled by something else.
We’ve putted your syntax in Line 1 under the advanced section. Is that the right place?
Or should it be in the wnos.ini ? That does not work either.
July 31, 2019 at 1:03 pm #50469If you are just using WMS, then put it in one empty line in the Advanced section.
If using wnos.ini, anywhere in there.Do you see any issues reported in the ThinOS Eventlog regarding this parameter?

August 1, 2019 at 2:37 pm #50485Thanks! We got it workin finally.
Like you said, under the advanced section, but without the manualoverride.
So this is how it works now with us:
1. In WMS display settings policy removed
2. Central Configuration our wms server
3. Under Advanced resolution line
4. In the wnos.ini Desktop=Background.jpg just to have a line in there
5. in the ini folder the user.ini with specials.
August 1, 2019 at 8:22 pm #50490MarvinS, we are WMS Public Cloud Pro and WMS version 1.4. We are always on the latest since its Public Cloud, Dell updates it for us when its available. I’m guessing you don’t see it because its a previous version of WMS.
