Xp embedded with EWF (enhanced write filter)

[btsimonh]

hi all, new here.

Just been trying FOG, and it’s great. Does what it says on the tin…

Question:
before I start digging much deeper, has anyone done specific work with XP embedded clients where the system volume is EWF protected?
Basically, EWF is a filter layer on top of the disk which means all modifications are not written, but kept in RAM unless specifically ‘committed’. So i’d be looking for hints on how if FOG needs to change something (e.g. computer name/sid), before the required reboot, a script could be run to commit the volume.

to be VERY specific, I’d like to run a batch script before any automatic or forced reboot being done because the OS volume has been changed.

example script:
ewfmgr -commitanddisable -live
call dosomethingelse.bat
ewfmgr -enable

thanks, simon
