FBReseal resets IP address back to dynamic

Hi,

Is it possible to stop FBReseal changing my network card
IP to auto config?

The only reason I need to run FBreseal is because EWFMgr is unable
to be change the state of EWF when I copy the files to a new target.
If this could be solved then I would not need FBReseal.

Konstantin,
You have probably read through this but still:

Let us know if the approach does not work for you.

I do some configuration to my image after FBA and then
execute:

ewfmgr c: -enable
fbreseal

Then I pull the power plug before the target has a chance to reboot.
I copy all files to a compressed file which I include on a recovery CD
with a custom recovery program.

The recovery program copies the files to the mass targets. When they
start EWF is enabled and I can disable it when I like.

If I skip the fbreseal step, EWF is still enabled but I can not disable it.

This is probably all academic as I am about to try your suggestion and
I'm sure it will solve my problem.

Just make sure to reboot the machine properly so that reg.changes got flushed. This would be important with Minlogon images.

Makes sense.

Well.. You can make the image with EWF disabled by default and then properly enable it on the first boot (will just require one more
reboot).
If I skip the fbreseal step, EWF is still enabled but I can not disable it.

But you use commitanddisable command, right?

You mean the suggestion with -keepnet? Yup. You can definitely try this first as it should not take a long time to test.

Sorry for the confusion. The 2 commands above are executed just after a
reboot.

If I don't use fbreseal, then EWF state can not be changed from what
it was when I copied the files. I thought it was probably a SID issue.

I can't remember wat the error message was but all ewfmgr commands
fail if I have not run fbreseal.
