Bulk fix Devices like Thin Clients in 7.2?

0liver · 2014-05-23T07:57:22.000Z

Hello,

i have finally made the step to 7.2 and it runs pretty good! Finally a version i could go to from my 6.2 that seems to work well. The new features are really cool!

One thing is there that i might need some help with or ideas. I have around 80 IGEL Thin Clients with the following message:

“We need some help identifying this device.”

This device is a: …

First of i would love to see “Thin Client” in the selection, as it is a very popular device type.But most of the Thin Clients you can buy are pretty much locked down and there is no service open on them, except maybe management ports.

I dont really feel like going through all 80 Devices and set them to other, manage myself and add model, devicetype, manufacturer, etc…

Anyone got an idea how to do this?

ok for the thin client local management you would use the UMS provided by IGEL

IGEL

IGEL is a transformative, secure enterprise endpoint OS designed for SaaS, DaaS and VDI environments.

As for the bulk update in SpiceWorks I have had issues with this myself and I would be curious to see what SpiceWorks has to say.

Thanks Gregory,

i have enables SSH and Remote Access on my IGEL TCs with the UMS but it will not pull anything. No RAM, no CPU, no nothing.

I bulk imporeted quiet a few devices in the past but i would love to get the basic info of my IGEL Devices automaticly. At least the stuff the UMS can pull automaticly, like the Serial Number and Software version.
