To commit, exclude, or modify the debug configuration file, enter the following commands on the Debug Configuration Editor: • To commit the file and obtain the logfiles-DebugConfigEditor.exe -CommitLog -Path "DebugLog.xml". This command commits the file present in the path that is mentioned in Debug.xml. • To exclude the collection of logs from a folder mentioned in the Debug.xml-DebugConfigEditor.exe -ExcludeLog -Path "DebugLog.xml". • To configure the Debug.xml file to collect different types of logs-DebugConfigEditor.exe -UpdateConfig -Path "DebugLog.xml" LogPath "Path of Log File" -LogFileName "Name of log File" -LogLevel "logLevel". The following table describes the different LogLevel values that can be used: Table 9. LogLevel values Value 0 1 2 3 4 7 Description Logs are not captured. Error logs are captured. Warning logs are captured. Error and warning logs are captured. Information logs are captured. All logs are captured. Saving files and using local drives Thin clients use an embedded operating system with a fixed amount of disk space. Dell recommends you to save files that you want to keep on a server rather than on a thin client. CAUTION: Be careful of application settings that write to the drive C, which resides in disk space. By default, these applications write cache files to the drive C on the local system. If you must write to a local drive, change the application settings to use the drive Z. The default configuration settings that are mentioned in Managing Users and Groups with User Accounts minimize writing to the drive C for factory-installed applications. drive Z Drive Z is the on-board volatile memory (Dell Wyse RAM Disk) of the thin client. It is recommended that you do not use this drive to save data that you want to retain. For information about using the Z drive with roaming profiles, see Participating in Domains. drive C Drive C is the on-board non-volatile flash memory. Dell recommends that you avoid writing to drive C. Writing to drive C reduces the free disk space. If the free disk space on drive C is reduced under 500 MB, the thin client becomes unstable. NOTE: Dell recommends that 500 MB of disk space is left unused. If the free disk space is reduced to 500 MB, the thin client image is irreparably damaged and it is necessary for you to contact an authorized service center to repair the thin client. Enabling the Unified Write Filter protects the disk from damage and presents an error message if the cache is overwritten. However, if this message occurs you are unable to flush files of the Unified Write Filter cache and any thin client configuration changes still in cache is lost. Items that are written to the Unified Write Filter cache or directly to the disk if the Unified Write Filter is disabled during normal operations include: • Favorites • Created connections • Delete/edit connections Additional administrator utility and settings information 35

To commit, exclude, or modify the debug
configuration
file,
enter the following commands on the Debug
Configuration
Editor:
To commit the
file
and obtain the
logfiles—
DebugConfigEditor.exe
-CommitLog -Path "DebugLog.xml"
. This command commits the
file
present in the path that is mentioned in
Debug.xml
.
To exclude the collection of logs from a folder mentioned in the
Debug.xml
DebugConfigEditor.exe
-ExcludeLog -Path
"DebugLog.xml"
.
To
configure
the
Debug.xml
file
to collect
different
types of logs—
DebugConfigEditor.exe
-UpdateConfig
-Path "DebugLog.xml" -
LogPath "Path of Log File" -LogFileName "Name of log File" -LogLevel "logLevel"
.
The following table describes the
different
LogLevel values that can be used:
Table 9. LogLevel values

Saving
files
and using local drives
Thin clients use an embedded operating system with a
fixed
amount of disk space. Dell recommends you to save
files
that you want to keep
on a server rather than on a thin client.
CAUTION:
Be careful of application settings that write to the drive C, which resides in disk space. By default, these applications
write cache
files
to the drive C on the local system. If you must write to a local drive, change the application settings to use the
drive Z. The default
configuration
settings that are mentioned in Managing Users and Groups with User Accounts minimize
writing to the drive C for factory-installed applications.
drive Z
Drive Z is the on-board volatile memory (Dell Wyse RAM Disk) of the thin client. It is recommended that you do not use this drive to save
data that you want to retain.
For information about using the Z drive with roaming
profiles,
see
Participating in Domains
.
drive C
Drive C is the on-board non-volatile
flash
memory. Dell recommends that you avoid writing to drive C. Writing to drive C reduces the free
disk space. If the free disk space on drive C is reduced under 500 MB, the thin client becomes unstable.
NOTE:
Dell recommends that 500 MB of disk space is left unused. If the free disk space is reduced to 500 MB, the thin client
image is irreparably damaged and it is necessary for you to contact an authorized service center to repair the thin client.
Enabling the
Unified
Write Filter protects the disk from damage and presents an error message if the cache is overwritten. However, if this
message occurs you are unable to
flush
files
of the
Unified
Write Filter cache and any thin client
configuration
changes still in cache is lost.
Items that are written to the
Unified
Write Filter cache or directly to the disk if the
Unified
Write Filter is disabled during normal operations
include:
Favorites
Created connections
Delete/edit connections
