Can I connect a DELL Wyse 3040 Thin Client to an Azure Virtual Desktop WITHOUT WMS?
The organisation I work for has moved away from WYSE 3040s with an on-premise RDS farm. We now use laptops, docks and Microsoft 365/SharePoint the whole thing. Intune management too. This is working...
I believe yes, Dell Wyse 3040 running ThinOS 9.1 can connect directly to Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) without Wyse Management Suite (WMS), but it requires manual configuration and has some limitations. WMS is not strictly required that the device can be configured locally, but ThinOS support for AVD is still evolving.
• Configure them manually with the AVD broker URL.
• Keep them on the latest ThinOS 9.1 firmware to avoid login loops.
• If you want to avoid WMS entirely, consider exporting/importing configuration files (INI/JSON) via USB to speed up setup across multiple devices.
