Hello all,
I installed thin client on 15 computers for a school and this works great
The computes connect using rdp to a special Windows terminal server (multipoint server) and the teacher can see all clients. Now, he's asking if there's a way to attrib a different name (for example accorind to it's mac address) to each client to be able to distinguish them when displayed on its screen ?
(I've a central config.txt file clients connect to via http when booting)
Thanks very much for your help
Arnaud

You can use nested configurations:
http://porteus-kiosk.org/remote-management.html#nested
and setup different hostname for each client.
If you want this to be automatic (generated from MAC) then custom build will be necessary.
Please post in kiosk section of the forum only.
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.
