Question

What is a DCA-Enabler? What is it used for?

I saw this expression on this side: https://www.dell.com/de-de/work/shop/workstations/mobile-precision-7760/spd/precision-17-7760-laptop/n006p7760emea_vivp?configurationid=83a8be52-288e-4d5b-bf8b-210d665256cf

From Dell:

Dell Client Agent (DCA) is a unified agent for Dell Hybrid Client management solutions. If you install DCA, you can manage Dell Hybrid Clients using Wyse Management Suite.

DCA Enabler is a client agent for managing Ubuntu version 18.04 LTS 64-bit on OptiPlex 7070 Ultra devices. The Dell Hybrid Client software is preloaded with Dell Client Agent-Enabler (DCAE). DCA-Enabler allows you to do the following actions that are managed by Wyse Management Suite:

Registration

Deploy Real-Time commands (RTC)

Unregistration from the server

Deploy Standard Application Policy

Deploy certificate policy

The version of Ubuntu as well as the model of Optiplex is not set in stone, of course.

it seems its for companies and advanced users to run things from remote locations/ over the network (with proper credentials) @haerriz – tgkprog Jun 04 '22 at 10:29
So I can ignore this for personal use for web development ? Will there be any restrictions ? Can I upgrade it to 22.04 ? – anjanesh Feb 10 '23 at 12:25
