In this video we demonstrate how to install the Wyse Management Suite. The
Wyse Management Suite is the next-generation management solution that
lets you centrally configure, monitor, manage, and optimize your Dell Wyse thin
clients. The new suite makes it easier to deploy and manage thin clients with high
functionality performance and ease of use.
It also offers advanced feature options such as cloud versus on-premises
deployment, managed from anywhere using mobile application, enhanced security
such as BIOS configuration and port lockdown. A simple installation of the
Wyse Management Suite consists of the Wyse Management Suite server, which is an
optional Wyse Management Suite repository server and an optional HTTPS
certificate from a Certificate Authority. Now before you begin, ensure that you
have installed Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2016 on one or more
server machines. The systems are up to date with current
Microsoft service packs patches and updates. You have installed Internet
Explorer version 11, Google Chrome 58.0, Mozilla Firefox 52.0 or Edge browser
on Windows and later versions. Also you obtain administrator rights and
credentials on all systems that are involved in the installations. Now to
begin double-click the installer package to
launch the installation wizard. Read the license agreement and click Next. On this
page you can choose to install the Wyse Management Suite components and the Teradici
EM SDK components. Note that the Teradici EM
SDK is available as a pro feature only. However if you want to use a standard
license for the Wyse Management Suite this option is still displayed on the
installer screen. If you want to install the Wyse Management Suite components, you
can either select typical installation or custom installation. Custom
installation is recommended for advanced users. Next enter the database and
administrator credentials. The administrator credentials that you enter
must be used to sign into the Wyse Management Suite Dashboard after the
installation. If you select custom installation you
can configure the Mongo and Maria database servers on the configuration
page. If the Teradici EM SDK option is enabled on the setup type page, the
configuration page allows you to configure the port for the Teradici
server and the CIFS user credentials. You can either select the option to use an
existing user if you want to validate the credentials for an existing user or
select create a new user if you want to create a new user account. Next select a
path where you want to install the software and the path to install the
local tenant file repository. The default path of the destination folder to
install the software is C:\Program Files\Dell\WMS
On the pre installation summary page verify your selections and
click Next. The installation process begins and it will take approximately 4
to 5 minutes to complete the installation.
However it may take longer if dependent components such as VC runtime are not
installed on the system. After installation click launch to open the
Wyse Management Suite web console. On the web console click get started and select
your preferred license. If you select the license type as standard click Next to
proceed to the standard Wyse Management Suite installation. But if you select the
license type as Pro you must import a valid Wyse Management Suite license. To
import the Wyse Management Suite license, enter the requested information to
import the license if your server has internet connectivity. Also you can
generate a license key by navigating to portal administration after logging in
to the Wyse Management Suite public cloud portal at wisemanagementsuite.com
Next on the enable email alert page you can enter your SMTP server
information. If you enter your SMTP information click Save when finished.
This will help you use the forgot password option in the future if
required. For the purpose of this video we are simply clicking skip. Now you can
import your SSL certificate to secure communications with the Wyse Management
Suite server. You can use the import pkcs-12 option if you want to import a
pkcs-12 certificate or use a key certificate option if you have separate
domain certificate, private key, and certificate chain. You must select Apache
as a certificate type when you are requesting the certificate using the key
certificate option. Importing the certificates takes three minutes to
configure and restart Tomcat services.
The Dell management portal login page is displayed. After logging into the Wyse
Management Suite console you can go to the dashboard page to view the details
of the functional areas of the system. The groups and configs page employs
hierarchical group policy management for device configuration. To view and manage
devices, device types, and device specific configurations, you can go to the devices
page. The apps and data page helps you to manage device applications, operating
system, images policies, certificate files, logos, and wallpaper images. The rules
page enables you to add edit and enable or disable rules such as Auto grouping
which is a pro feature and alert notifications. The jobs page enables you
to create jobs for tasks such as reboot, WOL, and application or image policy that
needs to be deployed on registered devices. The events page enables you to
view and audit system events and alerts. The users page enables local users and
users imported from the active directory to be assigned global administrator,
group administratot, and viewer roles to log into the Wyse Management Suite. The
Portal Administrator page enables administrators to configure various
system settings, such as local repository configuration, license subscription,
Active Directory configuration, and two-factor authentication. For more
