Hi,
In my Xpe machine,I want to restore the EWF Partion when the machine
is reboot.I try to modify the boot.ini with the parameter which let
the machine automatic select to bootup with EWF restore,instead of
selecting the option through F8 boot menu.

Can someone tell me what is the parameter?

Thanks,
 
Hi,

I don't think that I saw this parameter for boot.ini, but one can never
know.

If I may ask why do you need this?

Have you considered RAM EWF alternative if you have enough memory (is
minlogon cases usually not much memory is needed)?
Or somehow to manage disk overlay from XPe before the shutdown?

Regards,
Slobodan

huanghy,

I am not aware of such boot.ini option.

I was wondering why don't use just use "ewfmgr /restore" command (we are
talking about DISK overlay here)?

Thanks for you suggestion.

I'll write a logoff script with "ewfmgr -restore" to realize it.
 
There is no boot.ini command for restoring.

The best solution is to issue a restore request to Ewf either by using
ewfmgr -restore, or the API EwfMgrRestore as noted by a couple others on
this thread. Please note that the restore doesn't actually take place until
the next restart, so you can actually issue the restore request as early as
you want, to guarantee that the restore will actually take place on the next
boot even if the computer isn't properly shutdown. For instance you could
issue it from the Run key in the registry.

Also note that issuing a new command any time after restore will cancel the
restore.
