    We have a small handful of thin clients that are semi-regularly losing their dual display and time zone settings. I’m sort of new at this and am looking for leads to follow. I would love a swift kick in the right direction because I don’t have a ton of time to devote.

    I was thinking this only affected our older C10LE and 3010 models, but I noted a 3040 was affected today.  The device log shows a re-registration this morning.

    In looking at our wnos.ini after reading the forums a bit, I’m starting to think the following looks to be incorrect.  As I read it, the daylight statement is meant to follow a timezone statement.  We have several thin clients in several locations, and don’t necessarily care to manage time settings centrally, we just want them to hold as set.  So I don’t know how I should be setting this section.

    ‘Timeserver=redacted Timeformat=”12-hour format” Dateformat=mm/dd/yyyy
    Daylight=yes Start=030207 End=110107’

    Also, I read in a different post, https://technicalhelp.de/topic/wms-dual-display-settings-issue/#post-51063 , something that I need a bit more info on in respect to dual display settings:

    ‘Add
    ManualOverride=yes Components=”Display”
    to the Advanced section and the user can overwrite the WMS settings for Displays.’

    Could you elaborate on the ‘Advanced Section’?  Our .ini was generated a while ago by a co-worker with the ConfGen tool v7.2…

    I know I’m unseasoned; I’m just looking to solve these problems without diving too deep.

    Thanks a million.

    There are two way to administer ThinOS devices.
    One is the INI file you are using, and the other is WMS. The Advanced section is part of WMS profiles.
    You can add these parameters directly to your wnos.ini.
    What firmware version are you running?
    Clients typically do not loose any settings sporadically.
    Can you post your wnos.ini?

    I appreciate the help.

    The thin clients we have are mostly older we are replacing some as needed while we look at the plan for the future. They are C10LE and 3010, and some 3040.  C10LE are @ 8.3_109 (highest available), the Tx0 (3010) are @ 8.6_027, and a lot of the 3040 came with 8.6_013 stock and remain that way.

    Thank you.  I have received only one call about settings being lost since I made the change.

    I appreciate what you do for all of us, keep up your good work.
