Write Filter

The Write Filter provides a secure environment for thin-client computing by protecting the Thin Client from undesired flash memory writes (flash memory is where the operating system and functional software components reside). By preventing excessive flash write activity, the Write Filter also extends the life of the Thin Client. It gives the appearance of read-write access to the flash by employing a cache to intercept all flash writes and returning success to the process that requested the I/O.

The intercepted flash writes stored in cache are available as long as the Thin Client remains active but are lost when the Thin Client is restarted or switched off. To preserve the results of writes to the registry, favorites, cookies, and so on, the contents of the cache can be transferred (flushed) to the flash on demand by the Rapport Administrative Software or manually using the Write Filter Control dialog box (see “Write Filter Control Dialog Box” on page 46). It can be opened either through the Start Run command line (wtflush), by clicking Start Programs Control Panel Administrative Tools Write Filter, or by clicking Start Programs Write Filter. After the Write Filter has flushed the cache, all future writes during the current system session are written to the flash, with no further caching until a system restart occurs. The Write Filter can also be enabled/disabled through the command line or through the Write Filter Enable/Disable desktop icons. The status (enabled/disabled) of the Write Filter is displayed by the Write Filter status icon on the taskbar system tray (green indicates that the Write Filter is enabled, and red indicates that the Write Filter is disabled).

Note

When administering the Thin Client for permanent changes:

-To avoid flash corruption, it is strongly recommended to flush the Write Filter cache immediately following a fresh restart before making permanent modifications to the system.

-Do not flush the cache if the Thin Client has been used in the current system session.

Caution

The Write Filter cache should never be flushed if it is eighty-percent or more full. The administrator should periodically check the status of the cache and restart the Thin Client if the cache is more than eighty percent full.
