If thin clients that have ACS installed are managed and registered on the ADM server, the administrative status becomes
effective and it can not be detected from other ADM servers. This is a security specification to make it inaccessible from a
malicious server. If a thin client is not registered as an ADM server management target, it may be detected from an
unintended malicious server and the setting may be changed. Therefore, make sure that the thin client in the production
environment is registered as managed by the ADM server (detected from the ADM server), or if you do not use the ADM

information from the kitting environment ADM server. If this operation is not performed, the
production environment ADM server cannot register this thin client.
Note also that in Reset Mode, not only the ACS managed status, but also all ACS settings are

execute Reset Mode at Thin Client.
 Even if Reset Mode is executed at the Thin Client, registration information on ADM side isn't
updated. Administrators need to remove the Thin Client at ADM side.
