Greetings,
We have Flatron N2311AZ all-in-one PCoIP zero clients. For several months we have been using an HP t5740e Thin Client as a kiosk in facility lunchrooms so employees could print their paystubs and check their employee account. We will be rolling out a SharePoint website soon that contains MBO data. Thing is, the MBO is different and needs to be private for each division around the world; not a problem, easy to do with security groups in Active Directory and SharePoint. However, this presents a problem: our kiosk Thin Clients are not joined to the domain and they are WIRELESS (there are no network drops where they are deployed), and joining them to the domain and using a generic account isn't too great for our scenario; it would be best to use a zero client and a dedicated VDI & separate user login for each division. Problem with this is that our Zero Clients do not have wireless capabilities, that is unless we take a very short Ethernet cable and plug it into a device that can connect them to the wireless network.
Cliff:
Need a device that will establish a connection to a configured wireless network and is directly connected to a zero client via CAT 5/e Ethernet cable.
Suggestions? Not looking for anything complicated or does more than it needs to. USB wireless adapters would be great, but these are zero clients so that won't work. Only way is to do it through the wired NIC port and somehow convert that into wireless connectivity.
