Interaction betwee GPO's and EWF

[eric silberberg]

I see that gpedit and gpo functionality is supported in xpe. However, what
impact does the EWF have? Does the client wake, apply gpo's and then lose
the changes on reboot. Do you add an EWF commit to the login script in a
domain environment or does the OS treat these types of entries differently?

Hi Eric,

EWF protect partitions from write, so filesystem drivers are not aware of this.
If you want your changes to be written to disk you will have to commit and reboot (there are slight differences how disk and ram
based overlay are working) your computer.

so it is like any other change made to the registry via program installation
or desktop mods.

Hi Eric,

I do not understand the conclusion, or question.
Can you tell us what you want to accomplish?

Best regards,

eric,

Yes, it is like any other change you do in the system that does not impact
access to the disk raw data.

Unfortunatley, none of the system components have any customizations for EWF
usage scenerios. System components are all coming from XP Pro without any
change in the binaries.

This all means you will have to make sure to commit changes you do and want
to be persistent manually.
