New in WDM 5.0
- Peer Assisted Deployment - Enable deployment of software updates to thin clients by updating one or two devices first, and using them to update other peer devices in the network. This provides bandwidth efficiency in updating devices connecting over slow networks and in distributed deployments such as retail and branch offices. Scale to hundreds of branch offices with thousands of devices.
- High Availability - Manage thousands of devices, and support use of a clustered database server and load balancer to leverage multiple WDM servers that manage thin clients.
- Profile Manager - Configure Windows Embedded thin clients with a GUI-based editor (WCM). Set configuration profiles for groups, including hierarchies of groups, of thin clients. Any device, including newly joined ones, automatically get the configuration profile, including the ability become a kiosk.
