Hi,

Is it possible to dis/enable EWF from another machine? I
want users to be able to edit some batch files on the
partition that is normally ewf protected. The xpe machine
does get a fixed IP (which the user might want to change
this way).

thanks
 
Hi,

You will have to write your application or to use DUA for this purpose.

You mean call my app remotely and let it execute some
APIs. That sounds to good to be true 8-)

Unfortunately I discovered that manually disabling EWF
via ewfmgr c: -disable fails with error 87. I found that
that was asked before, but there was no answer. Do you
know what causes that (and what solves it)?

Thanks,
tYK

Do you use EWF without Config partition?
Then the error is expected. You have to use ewfmgr c: -commitanddisable to disable EWF.

Also, please verify first that EWF is enabled and working properly.

Hi tYK,

You have EWF API available in some of QFE's so you don't need ewfmgr.
Also you can only commit changes and reboot computer. No need for EWF disable.
If you want to use plain Disable you will need EWF partition and computer reboot before EWF is disabled. (All RAM EWF overlay data
will be discarded in process)

Use commit or commitandanddisable.
Also in SP2 there is -commitanddisable -live switch or/and api function that let you to save all overlay changes to disk and
immediately stop EWF.
