As I wrote in the other thread, are there ways to "hack" the client (opening it, or somewhat) without accessing to the configuration file ? In this case, the security hole is about the conf file ... I mean NO ONE can access and modify it, right ? What is Wyste TCX ? Is it integrated in the thin client device ? Thanks.

Isn't possible to hack the clients ? Also .. are the configurations protected by an admin password ? Only a password ? Is it possible to open them and somehow "reset" the password for enable/disable USB storage ? Thanks.

Thanks. So, if I buy that client, can I attach it to a network interface and use a remote Win Vista/7 virtual machine ? My bet is to deploy many VMs on hyper-v big w2008 server and to connect to them via thin-client. Isn't it enough architecture ? I don't understand why should I use other meta products like citrix .. please can explain it ? Thanks.

You are saying me that I can specify which peripherals I can attach to USB ports ? I mean I can say mouse: yes, keyboard: yes, pendrive Sony: no, pendrive hp: yes ... and so on ? Why do I need Citrix or VMware ? If I have hyper-v and I deploy VMs on it, can't I access to them via RDP on zero clients ? What is the additional benefit of those products ? We are a develop company and we use Microsoft developing tools (visual studio, office ...). Is it supported to install supported ? My concern is if a TS profile can handle these kinds of application use. Microsoft applications/services developing.

Hi, I am totally new to thin clients and I read the Forum guide. For our company, the main concern is the security, so IMHO we should look for a disk-less, dvdrom-less, usb port-less zero client. If it exists, the next point is to decide the architecture; if I correctly understood how they work, there should be 2 ways to go: 1) Set up a monster-server win 2008 hyper-v and deploy many win7 virtual machines on it; in this way I would like to use thin client to log on remotely to these VMs. 2) Set up a monster-server win 2008 and add many terminal server licenses. I don't know however if win 2008 TS profile can be as flexible as win 7 on a dedicated Virtual machine. Whatever the choice: we will use those zero clients in a Active Directory environment and we have to be 100% sure that no data can be stolen from those clients. Having USB port is a security hole because if a user unplug the mouse and plug in a USB pendrive, I think it will be recognized from the OS as a disk and the user could stole data as he wants. Can you please help me clarifying the above points and advising me some solutions ? Thanks.

I am looking for a thin client without USB ports but with only PS/2 for mouse and keyboard. This is for security reasons...users shouldn't attach usb stick to take away data. Other info an how accomplish this are welcome. Thanks for help.
