I'm using RAM base EWF protection of C: and changes to the IIS metabase
(like virtual directory settings) are disappearing after commit and restart.
Other changes to the C: are written successfully and appear correctly after
commit and restart. But, some changes to the IIS metabase are working only
during the current session. Examination of IIS during the session looks
correct. Commit the changes and restart. The IIS changes are gone. This
is not completely consistant because only some IIS configuration is lost
after a commit and restart.
Oh, restart is "xpepm -restart". Could the metabase be cached and not
flushed until some service is shut down in an orderly way? A test has
confirmed this. If IIS is stopped and started or a Window restart is done,
the IIS configuration is not lost (assuming the EWF is committed, of
course).
This is not good. Are there any other services that don't write their
information to disk until they are terminated in an orderly way?
Is there a way to call the real Windows Restart or Shutdown from a batch
file?
