On the Desktop & Mobile Clients page, view the registered client list. The left side shows the Terminal Group tree, and the right side shows the client list with details such as UUID, Client Type, and Last Logon User.

Get the UUID of each client through one of these methods:
Ask the end user to open the About window on the desktop client and provide the Unique Device Identifier (UUID) at the bottom of the window.
On the Desktop & Mobile Clients page, click Add Client.
In the Add Client panel, add clients using one of the following methods.
Add a single client
Click the Manually Add tab.
Enter the Terminal UUID, Terminal Alias, and Terminal Group, then click Confirm.
Add multiple clients from an XLSX file
Click the Bulk Add tab.
Prepare an XLSX file with client information. Either:
Click Download Template, fill in the template, and save the file.
Create an XLSX file in a spreadsheet application with the following columns:
Column Field Required 1 Terminal UUID Yes 2 Group ID Yes 3 Terminal Alias No
Drag the file to the upload area, or click the upload area to select the XLSX file.
The system imports the client information. After the import completes, review the import status for each client. If an import fails, verify that the data format matches the template.
Manage registered clients
After clients are registered, search, organize, and configure them from the Desktop & Mobile Clients page.
Search for clients
Search by Terminal UUID, terminal alias, IP, or last logged-on user. Fuzzy search is supported.
Set a client alias
Assign a custom name to a client:
In the Terminal Alias column, click the edit icon, enter a name, and click OK.
Click the UUID of a client to open the details page, then edit the alias.
Export client information
Select one or more clients, then click the export icon in the upper-right corner of the list. The system downloads a workbook with the details of the selected clients.
Move a client to a different group
Click Move in the Actions column for the target client. In the dialog box, select a new group.
Unregister a client
Click Cancel Management in the Actions column, then click Confirm.
Unregistration takes effect after the client connects to the network. The client is forced to restart, which may disrupt the end user's work. Proceed with caution.
Configure password-free logon
Password-free logon is supported only on Android clients.
Click Configure Password-Free Logon in the Actions column for the target client.
Select the target users and click Confirm.
After password-free logon is enabled, the mobile client logs on directly without a password. The logoff button is hidden on the client. To allow the end user to log off, disable password-free logon first.
Configure mandatory client upgrades
Require desktop clients and Android clients to upgrade to the latest version before logging on. This ensures that end users can use all features of their cloud computers and that their data is secure.
-
Log on to the Elastic Desktop Service Enterprise console.
-
In the left-side navigation pane, choose .
In the upper-right corner, click Configure Terminal Update.
On the Software Clients tab of the Terminal Upgrade page, configure the following settings:
Push Version Updates: Turn this switch on to push version update notifications to clients.
Forcible Update: Turn this switch on to require clients to upgrade before logging on.
When Forcible Update is enabled, WUYING Workspace pushes mandatory upgrade tasks to all desktop clients and Android clients under your Alibaba Cloud account. End users must complete the upgrade before they can log on.
Next steps
