The Wyse OS such as in the S10 you can't install local apps and setting up local printers can be a pain. If you are connecting
To just a published app or desktop then that may be fine. For manufacturing environment like yours that is probably ok. Just replace when it breaks. For users with higher computing needs they can be frustrated by the limitations. The S90 with the embedded XP has more of the look and feel of a normal desktop. WDM replaces rapport. Rapport was very buggy. _____ From: Rebecca Van Acker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 07, 2008 6:57 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: WYSE Terminal thin clients How do you plan on using them? We use them in our manufacturing environment running the Wyse OS to run an HP/UX app (IP and Digiport printing is fine), a couple ASP.Net apps on IIS (IP printing is fine) and several Win 2K3 TS apps (forget about printing). I've never installed anything locally. If one breaks (which is rare -- and warranty repairs are quick), I just replace it and move on. We use Rapport (the Wyse software) for remote administration. ~Becky > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [email protected] > Date: Mon, 7 Jul 2008 16:26:23 -0400 > Subject: RE: WYSE Terminal thin clients > > I have worked with the S90 which has the embedded XP.
