TIPS AND TRICKS DHCP tag automation (zero touch configuration)
User interface Tag 192 Language and keyboard ThinPro UI language and keyboard can be auto matically changed from English to other languages by configuring DHCP Tag 192 as a string with a value of English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese or Simplified Chinese. Altiris is disabled by default on ThinPro. It can be activated automatically if the local area network DHCP server provides Altiris server information through DHCP Tag 190. ezUpdate server information can be provided by configuring DHCP Tag as 137 on the DHCP server. Enter your own user name, password, server and path in this order: ftp://username:password@server/path. CDA mode can be enabled by configuring DHCP Tag 191 as a string whose value is the URL to the Citrix environment. This tag is a list of NTP Time Server addresses.
