EWFMGR & Remote Desktop

[Dave Pike]

I am trying to commit changes made to a device whilst connected to it
remotely via Remote Desktop, EWFMGR runs successfully with no errors but the
changes are not commited to the device after it is rebooted.

Device:
Samsung 400PxN 40"LCD Display running Windows XPE SP2
Problem:
Creating a mapped drive via explorer works successfully after being
committed uing EWFMGR.EXE C: -COMMIT if you are plugged directly into the
device and changes are saved upon reboot, applying the same changes from a
remote desktop connection gives no errors, however the changes are lost
after a reboot.

Are there any special considerations for using EWFMGR.EXE from an RDP
session ?

Also, is there any way to restart the device normally from the remote
session as there is no shutdown command available and RDP anly allows a
logoff or disconnect. this means that the device has to be restarted locally
by physically plugging in a keyboard. Alternately it can be restarted by
powering it off and on again but that is an absolute last resort.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards

Dave

I do not see this result on our systems. We commit and restart from RDP all
the time.
We have a button on our shell "Commit & Restart" which calls the EWF API.
No Issues. However we run SP1 and Rem Reg. EWF.
