The Autodesk Vault Thin Client lets users view files in a vault using a web browser.
Note: To access vaulted data using the Thin Client, you must install the Thin Client on every
ADMS Console.
- On a machine where a Vault Server is already installed, launch the Vault Server installation software.
- Click
Install Tools and Utilities.
- Accept the License and Services Agreement and click
Next.
- Select Autodesk Vault Thin Client if it is not already selected.
- Click
Install to begin the installation.
Installation Notes
The following browsers are supported by the upgraded 2022 Thin Client:
- Apple Safari.
- Google Chrome.
- Microsoft Edge.
- Mozilla Firefox.
Previous versions of the Vault Thin Client are only compatible with Internet Explorer 11. To access a Vault 2022 server with a supported past version (2020 or 2021) of the Thin Client, the previous version of ADMS and the Vault Office server must both already be installed on a separate machine.
- If ADMS is installed on a Custom IIS Port, the Thin Client cannot use that custom port or the Default IIS Port. In that case, the Thin Client must be installed using another IIS Port.
- If ADMS is installed on the Default IIS Port, the Thin Client can also be installed on the same Default IIS Port or on another IIS Port.
- If you are upgrading Autodesk Thin Client from a previous version of Vault and need a reference of the existing web.config file, be sure to back up the original web.config file (located in \Autodesk\Vault Thin Client 20XX folder).
- If you are upgrading Autodesk Thin Client from a previous release to the current release, you must uninstall the previous version before installing the new version.
- Autodesk Design Review works only for IE x32 browsers. IE x64 browsers are not supported.
- To view visualization files in Autodesk Thin Client using Internet Explorer, Autodesk Design Review Desktop must be installed on the client machine.
