smeserver-thinclient
Maintainer: TrevorB
Description
This contribution adds a server manager panel that allows an administrator to manage thinclient workstations (ie. workstations that are using the pxeboot protocol to retrieve a boot image from the server).
For usage see this page.
Requirements
- smeserver >= 10.0
- smeserver-pxe (will be installed as a dependency when installing smeserver-thinclient)
- The thinclient workstations are receiving their dhcp info from your smeserver.
- A tftp-server, either on your smeserver or another server in your domain (I have also created a contrib to install a tftp server on your smeserver).
- The thinclient workstations have a PXE capable NIC and BIOS. (although booting from usb stick, floppy & CD is possible. Please refer to the documentation of your thinclient OS).
Installation
This contrib is held in the smecontribs repository, so the following commands will install on your smeserver.
yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-thinclient
You will then need to activate the database changes, re-order the navigation menu, etc.
signal-event post-upgrade signal-event reboot
Go to the Thin Clients panel on Server Manager (within the Configuration section) and 'enable' etc.
