ThinManager 11.2 has a major encryption change, with AES, the Advanced Encryption Standard, being used to encrypt the ThinManager database instead of the previous encryption key. This has led to a few important changes.
Installation
When ThinManager 11.2 is first run, a dialog box will appear asking for a new database password.

Database Password Dialog
The password entered into the Password field for the Database Password is used for the encryption key when the database is configured. There are no requirements for length or complexity.
Note: This password is unrecoverable if lost.

Manual Backup
When a user manually backs up the configuration using Manage>Backup, the user will be prompted to create a password for the backup.

Database Password Dialog

This password is for the copy of the database as a backup only, not the running database. This allows a user to backup the configuration with a short password to send to support without sending the main database password.
There are no requirements for length or complexity of the backup password.
Note: This password is unrecoverable if lost.

Manual Restore
If an encrypted backup is restored with Manage>Restore, the Database Password dialog will launch and prompt for the password for the backup.

Database Password Dialog
This is asking for the password applied to the backup database, not the original database password.
Automatic Backup
ThinManager can be configured to automatically backup the configuration. These automatic backups will use the original password that was originally set when ThinManager 11.2 was set up.
The backups will now be saved in C:\ProgramData\Rockwell Software\ThinManager instead of C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockwell Software\ThinManager.

==System Requirements==
*OS:
**Windows 10
**Windows 8.1 S14 update
**Windows Server 2012 R2
**Windows 8
**Windows Server 2012
**Windows 7 SP1 or greater
**Windows Server 2008 R2
**Windows Vista SP2 or greater
**Windows Server 2008
**Windows XP SP3 (WinTMC 3.x and older only)
*CPU: 32 or 64bit 550MHz Single Core
*Memory: 256MB RAM
*HDD: 200 MB Free
*Network: 100Mb (1Gb recommended)

==Installation Considerations==
*Do not install WinTMC on the same machine on which ThinManager resides as it will cause a conflict with Port 2031.
*Do not install WinTMC on a Remote Desktop Server. WinTMC can only run a single time on a machine.
*The WinTMC Shadow Service is now a part of the WinTMC installation and is not installed as a separate service.

Supported Hardware

2019-12-03T17:23:27Z

Pburns:

Many new thin clients use the new '''Unified Extensible Firmware Interface''' (UEFI) instead of the older Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). ThinManager 11 will handle the new hardware.

Using UEFI for PXE boot:
* The UEFI boot requires ThinManager 11 or later.
* The UEFI boot requires Firmware Package 8.1.10 or later.
* Port UDP-4011 needs to be opened on the ThinManager Server
* The thin client Boot options in the BIOS of the thin client need to be set to Boot from LAN or PXE Boot
* The ''Secure Boot'' needs turned off in the thin client BIOS.

=== Mixing PXE Boot with UEFI Boot ===

If you are using the Use standard DHCP server with Boot Options (PXE Disabled) the Option 67 in the DHCP server requires different filenames. This requires configuration of the DHCP Server with different Vendor Classes to handle the different filenames. The options where ThinManager provides the PXE information do not require this extra configuration step.
See the attachment ConfiguringWindowsDHCPServerForUEFI_02.pdf for details on setting up Vendor Classes for UEFI boot.
