The following table provides information about whether Configuration Manager supports an opportunistic persist and a forced persist to manage write filters. None of these features require or support write filter exceptions. As shown in the previous screenshot, the forced persist option for a software deployment is a check box called Commit changes at deadline or during a maintenance window. For the Endpoint Protection client setting, it is called For Windows Embedded devices with write filters, commit Endpoint Protection client installation.
Although we need write filters to be disabled so that we can apply required changes, we also want to limit any unwanted writes to the disk while the write filters are disabled. New in Configuration Manager SP1, when Configuration Manager disables write filters, it prevents all users except administrators from logging on to the device. If users try to log on, they see a servicing lock screen when they try to log on to their embedded device.
The following screenshot shows what this looks like for Windows Embedded Standard 7. The world of embedded devices has a wide variety of usage scenarios when it comes to end users, some of which are as follows:. The changes we made in Configuration Manager were to ensure reliable operation for the scenarios where there is no user interaction during management actions, such as software installations.
So what does this mean if you plan to use Windows Embedded to deliver a Thin PC solution to your users? This scenario is supported, but the following user interactions are not available:.
Configuration Manager does not support software deployments that have a purpose of Available. If you target a software deployment to an embedded device, it does appear in Software Center but if users try to install it when write filters are enabled, they see an error message that they do not have permissions.
You can interactively install the software when write filters are disabled, but remember that if Configuration Manager disables the write filters as part of another deployment, only administrators can log on to the embedded device.
Software Center lets users configure their business hours and select an option to only install software outside their specified business hours. If we made these options available to users on embedded devices that had write filters disabled, their configuration choices would not persist after a restart. However, note that if the embedded device was imaged when write filters were disabled, and these options were configured, the image would include these settings and users will not be able to change them.
This end result might be suitable for your environment, or it might not. If you plan to image embedded devices, consider this behavior before you capture the image. In line with disabling the configuration of non-business hours in Software Center, we also disabled the user notification option to postpone a software deployment to non-business hours.
Another scenario to plan for when deploying software to embedded devices, is software installations that require user interaction. Make sure that you script the installations to remove all user choices. However, one to watch out for here, is installations that require the user to accept the license terms. This will not work on an embedded device, because only administrators can log on when the write filter are disabled.
In this scenario, the installation will still try to install, but fail, and the device will be reported as out of compliance. If you deploy software that requires the end user to accept license terms or similar end user interaction, use the list of applicable platforms in the deployment properties to exclude the Windows Embedded operating systems that you use.
Then use alternative methods to install this software on the embedded devices, such as manually logging on as an administrator to install the software. Use maintenance windows for all management actions and use batch deployments for software updates to help improve the operational efficiency of embedded devices that use write filters.
These configuration choices will help to minimize restarts and increase uptime for these devices. A maintenance window in Configuration Manager is a period of time you reserve to perform management tasks. Specifically, when you target software deployments, software update deployments, or operating system deployments to a collection that has a maintenance window defined, the software installs only during the maintenance window period. Do not confuse maintenance windows with non-business hours.
For a primer about the differences between these two, see the Business Hours vs. This is especially important in the case of devices like digital signage in an airport, ATM machines etc. To configure a maintenance window in Configuration Manager, you configure the properties of a device collection.
If you manage write filter-enabled devices, we strongly recommend you use maintenance windows for these devices. Before you do this, look at your enterprise business model to work out the best time for the devices to be offline for servicing. We recommend you use maintenance windows for all software deployments, with the exception of software definition updates for Endpoint Protection. Download Summary:. Total Size: 0. Back Next.
