Dell Wyse (Omnissa/Citrix/Microsoft AVD) Remote Clients Installation

Prev Next

Remote Clients (formerly Remote DX) has built-in support for Dell Wyse devices with our Dell Wyse plugin. After you deploy the plugin, you will be able to see client device metrics for your Dell Wyse device in the Real-Time DX Console and the VDI App.

You can deploy and distribute the Remote Clients via the WMS (by updating a group policy) or you can manually deploy the plugin on your Dell thin client.

We haven't fully tested this plug-in and it might not be as stable as our fully supported Remote Clients integrations. Our support team can't commit to standard resolution times if any issues arise needing their attention.
