ThinManager® SolutionReplace PCs with Thin Clients and Manage Centrally

Control Room

Plant FloorPlant Floor Offices


Managed Thin Client Benefits

Lower total cost of ownership than PCs over the lifetime of the system:

Less likely to fail because they don’t have hard drives or fans

Easier to replace when they do fail, significantly reducing downtime

Smaller and require less power to operate and cool

Fewer client operating systems to manage

More secure:

No local storage – nothing is stored on device

Can eliminate the Windows Desktop

USB ports are disabled by default for everything except and keyboards/mice


Positioning

ThinManager® is purpose-built. It is a content and device management solution

designed specifically for manufacturing environments

ThinManager® is an OT-centric solution

Reliance on IT is reduced allowing the critical plant floor content to be owned

and managed by engineering and maintenance

ThinManager® is simple to deploy and manage

ThinManager® is the only end to end solution that manages everything from the

server side down to the client itself

ThinManager®’s flexible content management, delivery and visualization options

are unique to the product


Using the VMware Images

This lab uses four different VMware images running on the lab computer.

The majority of the lab will be performed on RDS1. The four images are:

1. Domain Controller – Windows Server 2012 R2 – DC.TMLAB.LOC

2. HMI Server – Windows Server 2012 R2 – HMI.TMLAB.LOC

3. Primary RDS Server – Windows Server 2012 R2 – RDS1.TMLAB.LOC

4. Secondary RDS Server – Windows Server 2012 R2 – RDS2.TMLAB.LOC


Using the VMware Images

Every time you need to change images to perform a portion of the lab, you

will see the VMware menu bar. Please refer to the visual below with the

image name circled

Also, avoid excess typing in the lab by right clicking the Notepad shortcut

on the Windows taskbar within RDS01 and selecting LabPaths.txt – all of

the paths required in the lab are pre-entered here for your convenience
