Hello there, Not that I'm an expert at the OTC topic but I can try to help out;
When you locate the MacID of your wyse under OTC->PXE clients (right click to PXE clients and refresh if in doubt), you'll see the list on the right-pane, double-clicking the MacID entry in the right pane should open the Convert to client dialog. Give it a name and it will be moved under ThinClients. If that doesn't work the only thing i can relate is the OTC Manager misbehave based on Operating System (assuming you got the right Java version) i.e whether its Windows/linux or MacOS X? If its a Mac, running on Leopard Mac OSX: (Don't bother reading beyond this if its not Mac OS X) even after the latest Java updates (version 6) running the openthinclient with ./start-server.sh from terminal seems to be problematic. Most of the core services (tftp, nfs etc.) fail to run and you won't notice it unless you pay attention to the debug log in the terminal. This results in some seriously weird stuff to surface under OTC manager interface. I didnt locate any solution for that, first I thought it could be permission related because the services failed to run with 'socket or I/O permission ' error. Then i tried to do "sudo -s" under Mac OSX Terminal, that get me into root context. However, running "./start-server.sh" with root context (sudo -s) returned "wrong Java version, you need Java 6". Strange issue, as light googling around didnt reveal any solution for this. The normal user context locates the right version of Java but gives "permission error" for I/O and Socket when it attempts to run "services". The root context (sudo -s) can't locate the new version (6) and attempts to run with version 5 or 4.1.. To sum it up, OTC Server doesn't run (specifically the core services like NFS, TFTP, jboss etc. fails to load) well and for a use who don't pay attention to the execution log, OTC Manager will misbehave. Hope that sheds some light instead of confusing. Good luck... All the best!
