Overview

Create a Settings Profile

To create a settings profile for your ThinOS endpoints, sign on to the Lynx Admin console. Click Settings on the left. Click End Point and then Dell ThinOS. Next, click the version of ThinOS that corresponds to the version of the target endpoints. On the right-hand side, click on New Profile to create a new profile. (Note: It is not possible to create a new profile for ThinOS 8.5-8.6 endpoints because there is no way to specify that these endpoints should use a settings profile. Therefore, only the Default profile found under Version 8.5-8.6 is used by these endpoints).

After clicking on New Profile, a dialog box will appear which will allow you to customize the settings for this new profile. Be sure to give your profile a descriptive name in the Profile Name field at the top of the dialog box. You’ll also be able to view the version number of ThinOS to which this profile can be applied. After making changes, click Save to save your changes or Close to close the dialog without saving your changes. To deploy a settings profile to your endpoints, see Using WMS to Specify a Settings Profile.
