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.
