[openthinclient-user] General questions
Hello, i am new to openthinclient. In my school we have some thinclients using thinstation 2.2. Now i think about changing to openthinclient (Thinstation 5.1 seems to be to difficult for me.) We have a windows 2003 Server as DC with AD and DHCP and a windows 2003 server as terminal server. The thinclients are old computers. The thinclients should build autimaticly a RDP Connection to the terminalserver. My first questions: Is openthinclient right for me? Where do I install the openthinclient Manager? Can it be run on the Terminalserver? (Antworten auch gerne auf deutsch) Thanks, Andreas -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev ___ The Open Source Thin Client Solution http://openthinclient.org openthinclient-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openthinclient-user
Re: [openthinclient-user] General questions
Hi, >From what I can tell - it sounds like your environment would be suitable for OTC. It is possible to put the OTC manager on your DC, however, I wouldn't recommend it. It would be better if you put it on your terminal server. Two other things to consider - How much RAM do those older computers have and what kind of processor? I didn't have much success with the client on older computers. Also, will you be perfomring PXE boot across subnets? If so, you will need to add an IP helper address that points to the OTC server.

Re: [openthinclient-user] General questions
OTC can be a good solution. I'm running OTC with 2003 Server as dc and dhcp and 2008 server as terminal server. I had old pc as clients but changed to old Igel thinclients because they don't Need running fans or harddisks. My Clients automatically start with rdp connection and shutdown after disconnect from the ts. Perhaps you Need to Set some additional settings for rdesktop. I can Tell you my settings next week.

Re: [openthinclient-user] General questions
Hi, thanks for your answer. "How much RAM do those older computers have and what kind of processor? the next generation will be hp evo Pentium 4 with 1 GB RAM. They are now running XP and soon they shound work as thinclients. I will not perform PXE across subnets.

Sounds good, Andreas. You sound like a good candidate for OTC. Let us know if you need any help setting it up.

Re: [openthinclient-user] General questions
OTC should work fret for you. In my environment..OTC is installed on 2012 server.and I have converted old pentium 3 machines ...no hard drives64 mb -128 MB of ramto boot over pxeand then connecting to either 2012 or 2008 r2 terminal servers I did adjust the update repositories to download and update from the development/experimental Works great for me On Jun 19, 2013, at 4:06 PM, Andreas Mayer wrote: > Hello, > > i am new to openthinclient. > > In my school we have some thinclients using thinstation 2.2.

Re: [openthinclient-user] General questions
OK I have installed the Management Software on the Terminalserver. What is the next step. Do I have to connect with the AD on the DC? What are the next steps?

Re: [openthinclient-user] General questions
Andreas, Great! Now, you must create the DHCP option so that when a PXE request is made, it forwards to the correct place. Create DHCP option 67 and put your OTC server IP address or host hame (FQDN) as the value field.

Re: [openthinclient-user] General questions
I would try to do nothing. Just start the first client. The OTC Server should do the rest. On the Client ist Looks like nothing happens but you should found the Client in the manager under "pxe Clients" If not then First try to deactivate the Firewall on the Terminal Server and try again. That was my first problem. Sent from iPhone Am 20.06.2013 um 20:48 schrieb "Luis R. Barahona" : > Andreas, > > Great!
