Dell Wyse Kiosk Mode with WVD Remote Desktop unable to Subscribe
elliottchandler
I have it set so the wyse easy setup overlay launches on user logon to the Wyse terminal. it has the WVD remote desktop set as an icon and launches automatically. I also used FSLogix User Profile disks on the Wyse terminals so we could maintain the user logon information. So the first logon to the Wyse the user must "Subscribe" to the remote desktop app and enter the username and password into the connection when connecting to the pool and they can click "Remember Password". After the first logon the passwords are remembered via the FSLogix Wyse profiles and they don't have any password prompts other than the Wyse terminals windows logon to the domain. Once Dell/Wyse resolves the WVD subscribe issue in Kiosk mode we will go full kiosk mode.
Thanks so much for the reply. That sounds like a good amount of effort.
On the FSlogix are you using that locally on each Thin Client?
If FSlogix is in use does that mean that you have a local file share?
Are Dell actively working on the Kiosk Mode request?
Yes FSLogix I have it set Via GPO on the thin client. So Wyse management studio domain joins the Wyse to the windows domain. THen they pick up the FSLogix Policies. YOu can use on on-prem storage or Azure files storage for the wyse data disks as most of them are under 5mb in size it is minimal overhead.
Dell enhancement request is "WIN-1394 is the Enhancement request submitted to Product group" to get the Kiosk mode working.
AndrewPhebus I would like to buy you a beer. Thank you so much. I have been fighting Dell on being able to configure the new Remote Desktop client without UWF erasing settings etc. FSLogix worked! Now we can migrate them to Azure/Windows 365, the whole project was hung up on stupid Wyse.
- Using FSLogix for this is an interesting approach, anyone willing to have a conversation? I am interested to understand how this affects the write filter etc.
Thanks again for the reply.
So I am thinking that we would need to join the thin client to Azure Active Directory as we don't have local file storage. If that were possible is using Azure Files practical do you think?
If we join to Azure AD do you think FSLogix would work using Endpoint Management/Intune?
There are many ways to accomplish what you are looking to do. what you describe may work, but i have not attempted it that way.
