Yet another Horm Question

[Richard]

Question 1:
According to the MS Documentation for FP2007 "Applying Updates to a system
that uses HORM", if changes are to be made to a system, the following needs
to be done.

Step 1) Disable EWF
Step 2) Deactivate Horm
Step 3) Reboot
Step 4) Make the Changes
Step 5) Enable EWF
Step 6) Reboot
Step 7) Activate Horm
Step 8) Hibernate
Step 9) Shutdown
Step 10) Repower System

But what I found is different, please tell me if this is a problem.

Initial Mode) System already up with EWF RAM Reg Enabled, and Horm Enabled,
booted from Hibernation file.

Step 1) Apply Updates
Step 2) Hibernate/Shutdown
Step 3) Repower System - Powers up with all changes.

So if the system is taking all the updates, and is booting from the new
hiber file, why does MS want all the additional steps?

Question 2: Is there a way to create a Hibernation file on the fly without
shutting down? OR Is there a way to create the new file, then restart from
it without a cold reboot, such as Hibernate and restart? It's a headless
system, and without a monitor, you can't tell when it's safe to shutdown the
computer and restart it.

Thanks,
Richard

Question1:
-Through the methode of MS, you will keep the change for always.
Through your methode, the changes will be lost if EWF is disable.

Question2:
I don't think it is possible.
