Dell ThinOS 2211, 2208, and 2205 Release Notes

Updates to Admin Policy Tool and Wyse Management Suite policy settings

• Enable PCoIP Activation License—Added Enable PCoIP Activation License option in Services > WDA Settings. This option is disabled by default and must be enabled to enable the PCoIP function on Non-PCoIP Thin clients. Restart your client for the option to take effect. This option consumes your ThinOS Activation devices licenses.
• Enable On Screen—The Enable On Screen option is disabled by default. Go to Advanced > Session Settings > RDP and AVD Session Settings > Direct RDP Settings > Add Row. Add the RDP direct connection, enable the Fullscreen, and Enable On Screen options. Select the monitor number in the OnScreen and launch the RDP direct connection. The RDP session displays in this monitor as fullscreen.
  NOTE:If the monitor number selected in the OnScreen list is not on the ThinOS Display window list, the RDP direct session displays fullscreen on the last monitor.
• Manual Override Camera Device—Added Manual Override Camera Device option, which is disabled by default. Go to Advanced > Peripheral Management > Camera > Camera Settings to enable the option. If the option is enabled, the camera that is selected on ThinOS locally takes priority. This prevents the camera settings in the Wyse Management Suit server from overwriting the locally configured camera device until Manual Override is disabled.
• Default Camera—Go to Advanced > Peripheral Management > Camera > Camera Settings to set the default camera. Use full label, VID:PID, substring, or any valid regex and the setting matches the best available camera label based on available substring. If a default camera is found and manual override is disabled, this setting disables camera selection on the local ThinOS device.
• Added MJPEG in the Camera Format list.
• Delay Floatbar Activation in Milliseconds—You can now change the input value to a range between 70 and 60000. To change the value, go to Personalization > User Experience Settings > Delay Floatbar Activation in Milliseconds
• Turn Off the Display—A new option, Turn Off the Display, has been added when you go to Advanced > Personalization > Screen Saver. The display turns off after some time and the screen saver is displayed. This option is available for Screen Saver Type Moving Image, Showing Pictures, and Playing Video.
• VNC Service
  • Go to Advanced > Services > VNC Service.
  • Turn on Enable VNC Daemon and Enable VNC Prompt.
  • Change the default value from Accept to Reject for the Select Timeout Type option.
  • Change the default value from 0 to 10 for the Timeout option.
    NOTE:There is no functional change with this update from the previous ThinOS release.
• DHCP option 252 enable—Added DHCP option 252 enable in Network Configuration > DHCP Settings. You can enable or disable the proxy settings from DHCP option 252 using this option.
• Added the BIOS settings page to control the BIOS options for Latitude 3420.
  NOTE:If you publish the BIOS settings policy through Wyse Management Suite on Latitude 3420, the policy will not sync to Admin Policy Tool. The policy takes effect in BIOS Setup directly.
• Changed the value range to 0-18446744073709551615 minutes in Broker Settings > Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Settings > Login Expire Time. 0 means follow server timeout policy.
  NOTE:This policy only works when logging in to Citrix StoreFront server or Citrix NetScaler server with LDAP authentication.
• Disable Default Password on Login Console—Added the Disable Default Password on Login Console option in Login Experience > Login Settings.
  NOTE: MFA token and Smartcard PIN are not impacted with this option.
• SMB Printer—The username field supports special characters in Peripheral Management > Printers > SMB Printer
• The accepted length of Amazon WorkSpaces registration code is updated from 255 to 1023 characters in Wyse Management Suite, Local Admin Policy Tool, and ThinOS.
• Login Use SmartCard Certification Only—In Login Experience > Login Settings, the Login Use SmartCard Certification Only option is enabled by default.
• Enable logging level—Removed 4, 5 from Login Experience > 3rd Party Authentication > 3rd Party Authentication Settings > Enable logging level drop-down list.
• Hide On Startup—Added Hide On Startup in Peripheral Management > Mouse. If you enable this option, mouse pointer will be hidden until you move the mouse, after you reboot the client.
