  • ThinOS Limitations on OptiPlex 5400 All-in-One
    • Few applications have an audio issue when recording with the integrated microphone.
    • Sleep mode is not supported.
    • HDMI-in port is not supported, so OptiPlex 5400 All-in-One with ThinOS cannot be used as a monitor.
    NOTE:You must have ThinOS Activation devices license for OptiPlex 5400 All-in-One to enable VDI function.
    NOTE:If you do not connect the network cable, you can only connect to the Wi-Fi. ThinOS may not detect the network controller, which means ThinOS cannot connect to the Wyse Management Suite server. You must connect the network cable and reboot to recover the network controller to ensure ThinOS can connect to the Wyse Management Suite server.
  • Improvements over Latitude 3420
    • Supports integrated microphone.
    • Supports Dell DA310 7-in-1 USB-C Multiport Adapter.
    • Supports DellWD19 docking station.
      • Do not hot plug monitors on Dell WD19 as a black screen may be displayed. You can hot plug the Dell WD19 docking station.
      • If you hot plug the Dell WD19 dock, display audio through the dock does not work. You must reboot with Dell WD19 connected to use the display audio, which works only with one monitor connected to Dell WD19.
    • Supports Type-C port display audio.
      NOTE:Latitude 3420 supports audio through one display only. If displays are connected using both HDMI and Type-C, the Type-C display audio takes priority.
  • Power adapter is required to complete operating system firmware, application packages, or BIOS firmware installation— Operating system firmware, application packages, or BIOS firmware cannot be installed without power adapter, and an error message Skip upgrade since AC power is not connected or disk space is not enough is displayed in event log .
  • Light theme for Modern mode — The theme can be enabled in Wyse Management Suite policy by going to Personalization > Experience Settings > Color scheme for Modern mode.
  • Removed local ThinOS window icons from modern mode floatbar— In the previous release, few ThinOS local windows have icons on the modern mode floatbar, like the System Information window. These icons are removed, and only VDI icons will be on the floatbar.
    NOTE:Only window icons are removed from the top of floatbar. Button icons at the bottom are not changed.
  • Added transparency in classic mode
  • Default desktop background Image is changed.
  • SNMPV3 is added and supported— SNMPV3 in ThinOS requires a security level with both authentication and privacy. This setting can be configured in Wyse Management Suite policy by going to Network Configuration > SNMPV3 Settings. ThinOS supports MIB tree 1.3.6.1.2.1 but not 1.3.6.1.2.1.10, 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.5, and 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.21.1.10. ThinOS supports private MIB tree 1.3.6.1.4.1.714 as below:
    NOTE:ThinOS 2208 only supports Set and Get operations.
    Table 3. MIB
    Serial Number 1.3.6.1.4.1.714.1.2.6.2.1

    Undefined yet 1.3.6.1.4.1.714.1.2.6.2.3
    Network speed 1.3.6.1.4.1.714.1.2.6.2.4
    Network Gateway 1.3.6.1.4.1.714.1.2.6.2.5
    DHCP setting (1 as enabled, 0 as disabled) 1.3.6.1.4.1.714.1.2.6.2.6
    DNS setting (1 as static, 0 as dynamic) 1.3.6.1.4.1.714.1.2.6.2.7
    DNS server 1.3.6.1.4.1.714.1.2.6.2.8
  • Updated the settings in System Preferences > Power and Sleep— If the thin client does not support sleep mode, Sleep option is not displayed in the dropdown list and the default value is Power off with the timer Disabled.
  • Changed DNS SRV record to DNS/DHCP Discover— The name DNS SRV record is renamed to DNS/DHCP Discover in Central Configuration of the client menu. There is no functional change.
  • Changed the order of options in LPDs— In Printer Setup > LPDs of the client menu, the order of the options are changed.
    Figure 1. LPDs tab in Printer
  • Changed the audio device priority when manual override is enabled— When manual override is enabled, audio device priority does not change. To give priority to an audio device, select the audio device from the dropdown list manually. If the audio device is already selected in the dropdown list, choose another audio device in the list and change it back to the first audio device.
  • Default Wyse Management Suite URLs added in drop-down list in the OOBE - Import Configuration page— In the OOBE - Import Configuration page, a drop-down list is added. The following two Wyse Management Suite URLs are shown by default.

    us1.wysemanagementsuite.com

    eu1.wysemanagementsuite.com

  • Updated the password policy when exporting logs— When exporting logs from Troubleshooting, the password must include upper and lower case letters, numbers, and one or more special characters in “!@#$%^&*-_”. The minimum length of the password should be nine characters.
  • Lock Terminal enhancement— A new group is created in Wyse Management Suite or Admin Policy Tool for Lock Terminal.
    Figure 2. Lock Terminal in Wyse Management Suite
    This group contains below parameters:
    1. Enable Lock Terminal: This option enables the thin client to be locked. The default value of this parameter is ON. The previous name of this parameter was Lock Terminal under the group Login Experience.
      NOTE:If the lock terminal option is disabled from ThinOS policy, the local terminal command from Wyse Management Suite ignores this option and locks the thin client.
    2. Sign Off instead of Lock: When web authentication or an anonymous user signs in, you can configure the thin client to sign off instead of lock. The default value of this parameter is OFF. The previous name of this parameter is Sign Off Automatically when Lock Terminal under group Screen Saver Settings
      NOTE:If Enable Lock Terminal is OFF, this parameter is not shown and configured.
    3. Enable Choose Lock Behaviors: When web authentication or an anonymous user signs in, you can configure the thin client to display a dialog box to set the unlock password, sign off, or cancel lock. The default value of this parameter is ON.
      NOTE:If Sign Off instead of Lock is ON, this parameter is not shown and configured. This parameter does not take effect when no web authentication or anonymous login is detected.
    4. Auto Sign Off Timer: You can set auto sign-off timer from 10 s to 600 s. The default value of this parameter is 60.
      NOTE:If Enable Choose Lock Behaviors is OFF, this parameter is not shown and configured.
    • Enable Lock Terminal: If Enable Lock Terminal is ON, the Lock Terminal option is displayed and selected in ThinOS shutdown menu. If Enable Lock Terminal is OFF, the Lock Terminal option is disabled in the ThinOS shutdown menu. You cannot lock the terminal from ThinOS shutdown menu or using the ThinOS system shortcut Ctrl + Alt + Left/Right.
    • Lock Terminal on Web Authentication and Anonymous Logon user cases: ThinOS supports None broker agent Logon and various Web Authentication scenarios in VDI Logon. After ThinOS 2208 release, Lock Terminal will be supported in the following user cases:
      • Broker is None
      • Login AVD broker
      • Horizon Workspace One Mode
      • Horizon Anonymous Login
      • Horizon Kiosk mode
      • Horizon Azure + UAG broker
      • Horizon OKTA + UAG broker
      • Citrix Storefront Anonymous Login
      • Citrix Azure AD broker
      • Citrix OTP broker
      • Citrix Cloud with Web authentication
    • New features of Lock Terminal in Web Authentication and None broker agent login
      • After selecting Lock Terminal in ThinOS shutdown menu or using the ThinOS system shortcut Ctrl + Alt + Left/Right, the Unable to Lock Account window is displayed.
        Figure 3. Unable to Lock Account window
      • Once the countdown is over, terminal signs off.
      • When the Cancel button is clicked, the Lock Terminal operation is cancelled.
      • After the Set Password button is clicked, the Set Unlock Password window is displayed. You can follow the password complexity requirements to set a one-time password, which can be used to unlock the terminal.
    NOTE:Instead of Sign Off if Lock is ON, the terminal signs off when selecting Lock Terminal option from ThinOS shutdown menu or using the ThinOS system shortcut Ctrl + Alt + Left/Right.
    NOTE:If Enable Choose Lock Behaviors is OFF, the Lock Terminal function is disabled. Lock Terminal is disabled in ThinOS shutdown menu. The ThinOS system shortcut Ctrl + Alt + Left/Right does not work either.
  • SMB printer credentials updated for VDI logon credentials and variables
    • If there is an SMB printer configuration in Wyse Management Suite, then the Wyse Management Suite SMB printer configuration always has a higher priority than the local SMB printer configuration.
    • If you want to always pass the VDI logon credentials to the SMB credentials, use $UN, $PW, and $DN as the SMB printer username, password, and domain respectively on the Wyse Management Suite server or locally if there is no Wyse Management Suite configuration.
    • If the SMB printer username, password, and domain fields are left empty on the Wyse Management Suite server or locally, after the VDI logon on the client, the VDI logon credentials do not pass to the SMB printer credentials.
    • If you want to use the same SMB printer credentials for all client users, configure the SMB printer common credentials (non-variables) on the Wyse Management Suite server or locally if there is no Wyse Management Suite configuration.
      NOTE:After configuring $UN, $PW, and $DN as the SMB printer username, password, and domain on the Wyse Management Suite server on the client, the SMB printer credentials are empty before VDI logon on the client.
