EWFMgrCommitAndDisableLive interface

[Daniel Simpson \(MS\)]

Hi,

Due to an oversight on my part, the EWF API interface for Commit and Disable
Live (EWFMgrCommitAndDisableLive) was left out of the product documentation
for XPE SP2. This is a bug and will be addressed in the next XPE SP2
documentation update.

In the meantime, here is the interface information:

EWFMgrCommitAndDisableLive

This function commits all current data in the overlay to the protected
volume and then disables Enhanced Write Filter.

BOOL WINAPI EwfMgrCommitAndDisableLive(
IN HANDLE hDevice,
);

Parameters
hDevice
[in] Handle to the EWF-protected volume.

Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is TRUE. If the function fails,
the return value is FALSE. For extended error information, call
GetLastError.

Remarks
This function is supported on EWF RAM and EWF RAM REG modes only. The
overlay is immediately committed to the protected volume and EWF is disabled
without requiring a reboot.

Dan,

I haven't yet played with RTM bits but do you know if EWFAPI.lib problems have been fixed in RTM?
I am referring to this bug: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&[email protected]

Hi KM,

The ewfapi.lib that is included on the installation media is an incorrect
version. The correct version is available as a QFE from
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=9501.

My apologies, this link just goes to the downloads page for XPE. I will
find the link to the QFE and post it momentarily.

Dan,

I must be overlooking that QFE. What is the actual link to it?

I hope you don't refer to Q818822
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...a8-14e6-4509-a8ac-572836a8b373&DisplayLang=en) which is SP1 QFE.

I did not know there are QFEs for SP2.

QFEs for SP2 should be rolling out mid December. The QFE for ewfapi.lib
will be posted at that time.

Thanks,
