Yep, seen this on Wyse build images. It does make sense to manage your Wyse with SCCM though, I wouldn't think of them as just read only devices. While all the disk overlay is held in ram and thus will be flushed on reboot, these devices should be patched regularly just like a full blown windows OS device. At a previous employer we saw Wyse devices getting hit with conficker from vendor supplied equipment. Rebooting the device would clear it up, but it was still vulnerable until patched. Not to mention I sure you'll run into cases where someone wants to install or make changes to your Wyse devices. SCCM 2012 now has inbuilt functionality to work with the write filter on embedded devices. The Wyse provided WDM solution is a pain to work with.

Hi: Is the SCCM 2012R2 client preinstalled on Wyse Z90 model thin clients? I noticed today some thin clients are trying to check into our SCCM server, which shouldn't be happening because right now I've only pushed the client to a few pilot machines. According to our Citrix guy, he's seeing the client preinstalled on the images he has from Wyse. So if the client is being preinstalled, I guess my question is why? I'm not really sure there's too much of a benefit for us to having the SCCM client on a read-only thin client. Thanks.
