Happy Holidays-
I am currently starting a View rollout at my company and have standardized on zero clients as the end point devices. My customers have a variety of existing Dell fat clients ranging in age from new to 8 years old. They have asked why we cannot repurpose their pcs instead of buying new zero clients. My understanding around repurposing a fat client is you would install Windows Embedded 7 on the existing hard drive then use the view software client to connect to the connection broker. Can anyone comment on this? Basically looking for peoples' experiences on using repurposed fat clients. Also, looking on how you would manage the devices as with the zero clients I know you can use a Teradici or Wyse product to manage them. Wondering how you would manage these fat clients? Can you take out the hard drive and do some type of pxe boot to the connection broker? Thanks for your advise/experiences?
Regards,
Erik
