Wyse 5070 thin client configuration on ThinOS
This section provides the instructions on how to easily configure and efficiently manage Wyse 5070 thin client that runs on ThinOS. .
Topics:
•Introduction
•Configuring ThinOS using the First Boot Wizard
•Logging on to the Wyse 5070 thin client running Wyse ThinOS
•Local settings menu
•Configuring the printer settings
Introduction
Thin clients running Dell Wyse ThinOS firmware are designed solely for optimal thin client security and performance. These efficient
purpose-built thin clients are virus and malware resistant, and offer ultrafast access to applications, files and network resources within
Citrix, Microsoft, VMware and Dell vWorkspace environments, and other leading infrastructures. ThinOS based thin clients are self-
managed, go from power-on to fully productive in seconds, and with no published API, locally accessible file system or browser, require no
local McAfee Anti-Virus software or firewall to protect against viruses or malware.
Configuring ThinOS using the First Boot Wizard
The First Boot Wizard runs the first time you start a new thin client with the ThinOS version 8.5. The thin client starts the First Boot
Wizard application before you enter the ThinOS system desktop, and allows you to perform a set of tasks, such as, configuring system
preferences, setting up the internet connectivity, loading USB configurations, configuring management software, and configuring broker
connections.
If you are an existing thin client user, and you have upgraded to the ThinOS version 8.5, then you can reset your thin client to factory
default settings to enter the First Boot Wizard.
The First Boot Wizard runs the first time you start a new thin client with the ThinOS version 8.5.1. The thin client starts the First Boot
Wizard application before you enter the ThinOS system desktop, and allows you to perform a set of tasks, such as, configuring system
preferences, setting up the internet connectivity, loading USB configurations, configuring management software, and configuring broker
connections.
You can also reset your thin client to factory default settings to enter the First Boot Wizard.
To configure the First Boot Wizard:
1. Connect a new thin client or existing thin client to the Ethernet using a wired connection. The existing thin client must be reset to
factory default settings to enter the First Boot Wizard.

driver. The name will be defaulted to the printer-supplied identification for standard direct-connected USB printers or Generic /
Text for non-USB connected printers on connection to Windows hosts. The driver name mapping takes place either through a
printer-mapping file read by the system as part of the global profile (wnos.ini) or by MetaFrame servers through the MetaFrame
printer configuration file (\winnt\system32\wtsprnt.inf).
d. LPD Hosts—The DNS or WINS name of the server for the network printer. An IP address of the printer on the network can also
be entered.
If the printer is attached to another thin client on your network, the entry in the LPD Hosts box is the name or address of that thin
client.

Wyse 5070 thin client on Windows 10 IoT
Enterprise
This section provides the instructions on how to easily configure and efficiently manage Wyse 5070 thin client that runs on Windows 10
IoT Enterprise.
Topics:
•Introduction
•Before configuring your thin clients
•Automatic and manual login
•Keyboard and region settings
•Devices and printers
Introduction
The thin clients running Windows 10 IoT Enterprise provide access to applications, files, and network resources. The applications and files
are made available on machines hosting Citrix Receiver, Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection, VMware Horizon client session, and Dell
Wyse vWorkspace services.
Other locally installed software permits remote administration of the thin clients and provides local maintenance functions. More add-ons
are available that support a wide range of specialty peripherals and features for environments that require a secure user interface with 64-
bit Windows compatibility. Your thin client device supports Microsoft Silverlight, Microsoft Lync VDI 2013 plug-in, and Microsoft .Net
Framework 4.6 or later versions. For more information, see Microsoft Website
Before configuring your thin clients
Before you configure your thin clients, ensure that you configure Unified Write Filter and xData Cleanup Manager that protect your thin
clients. The Unified Write Filter Utility prevents undesired flash memory writes, and xData Cleanup Manager cleans up extraneous
information from being stored on the local disk.
However, there are instances where administrators can retain the changed configurations after you log out and restart the thin client.
Automatic and manual login
What you see when a thin client turns on or reboots depends on the administrator’s configuration. After creating a user account, an
administrator can configure the account to log in automatically or manually with user credentials. Ensure that you disable the Unified Write
Filter (UWF) before you change a password on the thin client, and then enable UWF after your change. To change the password, press
Ctrl+Alt+Delete, and then click Change a password. However, this feature is not applicable for User accounts.
CAUTION:
CAUTION: Please follow proper write filter and Windows Page File usage instructions at all times. Such instructions
include making sure that the write filter is enabled during regular use and is disabled only temporarily by an
administrator when required for image upgrades, applying security patches, registry changes and application
installation. The write filter should be re-enabled as soon as such tasks are completed. Such instructions further include
never enabling the Windows Page File feature during regular use of the thin client.
Any operation of a Dell Wyse Windows Embedded Thin Client with the write filter turned off during regular use and/or
with the Windows Page file enabled will prematurely wear out your Flash/SSD storage, decrease performance and
