CHAPTER 5 The Enhanced Write
Filter
This chapter describes how to use the Enhanced Write Filter secu- rity features to protect your Neoware XPe thin client.
Enhanced Write Filter Operations
Overview | Microsoft's Enhanced Write Filter is a file system utility that can be |
| set to take all disk write activity that would normally go to the C: |
| drive (a Flash disk in Neoware thin clients) and redirect them to a |
| RAM cache, instead. Disk reads come from the Flash disk and |
| RAM cache. |
| When an Enhanced Write Filter protected thin client restarts, the |
| original contents of the disk reappear, unchanged. With Enhanced |
| Write Filter engaged, the integrity of the original disk's contents is |
| protected. Enhanced Write Filter is ideal for |
| any application that could be adversely effected by inadvertently |
| installed software (such as Internet Explorer |
| as well as making a protected thin client less susceptible to virus |
| infection. |
| Note that the Registry Filter enables Microsoft Licensing and |
| Domain Machine password synchronization to be saved even when |
| Enhanced Write Filter is enabled. |
