Problem
You attempt to use the Get Device Image feature (non PXE) from within Dell Wyse Device Manager Version 5.0 to pull an image off of a Wyse Thin Client:
The WDM Server is able to restart the Thin Client and begin the process of uploading the server but you notice that the progress never increases from 0% and eventually errors out with:
BusyBox v1.00 (2007.02.08-11:26+0000) Built-in shell (ash)
Enter ‘help’ for a list of built-in commands.
/bin/sh: can’t access tty; job control turned off
/bin #
Nothing happens and you are forced to restart the thin client.
Solution
The Wyse thin client I was working with was an older Z90S7 model and apparently had an older Boot Agent that needed to be updated so from within the Wyse Device Manager console, I navigated to Package Manager –> Other Packages then dragged and dropped the BootAgent item to the Device Manager node:
Continued through the wizard and selected the thin client to be updated:
I was then able to successfully pull the image from the Wyse thin client once the boot agent was updated:

That's great, but how did you get the updated Boot Agent on the device when it was sitting at the bin# prompt? If you run the updated from WDM, it does nothing on the thin client, even if you reboot the thin client?
Thanks!
You have to remove the scheduled package first.
this worked for me, thanks!!!
