Has anyone used the besclient to inventory WYSE terminals on a subnet?

Question… Why no just Wyse Device Manager (WDM) it will do this for you already and does not require you to install Bes on a THIN client.

I would assume he wants one place to manage everything.

the besclient should work on those, we support the OS and have tested on similar devices. A few things to keep in mind:

  1. it’s very space limited, so be cautious about how much content you subscribe to. I’d create a custom site and copy the fixlets you want to test for into it. There’s a stream of XP Embedded tested content in Windows Point of Sale, contact your sales team to get it. We’re also testing selected fixlets from other sites like Updates for Windows Apps and Security Policy Manager. Check the OS relevance in the fixlet if you’re not sure (http://support.bigfix.com/cgi-bin/kbdirect.pl?id=865) or check with support.

  2. EWF will typically be on to protect the flash drive. There’s a lot to consider there, see this KB article: http://support.bigfix.com/cgi-bin/kbdirect.pl?id=1625
