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. For devices that use FBWF and UWF only: When clients in a workgroup use certificates for authentication to management points, you must also exclude the private key to ensure the client continues to communicate with the management point.
On these devices, configure the following exceptions:. No additional exceptions are needed by the Configuration Manager client other than those documented in the above Important box. Adding additional Configuration Manager or WMI WBEM related exceptions may lead to failures of the Configuration Manager including devices getting stuck in servicing mode or devices experiencing reboot loops.
For an example scenario to deploy and manage write-filter-enabled Windows Embedded devices in Configuration Manager see Example scenario for deploying and managing Configuration Manager clients on Windows Embedded devices.
For more information about how to build images for Windows Embedded devices and configure write filters, see your Windows Embedded documentation, or contact your OEM. When you select the applicable platforms for software deployments and configuration items, these display the Windows Embedded families rather than specific versions.

Please rate your experience Yes No. It could be very well ConfigMgr that's causing the behavior as that's how it works with software that needs to be applied and the device is "protected" with a write filter.
Just wondering how you determined that it is installed then.. I'm not sure how that product should show-up, or if it even shows-up, but as it's an addition to the ConfigMgr client I can imagine that it doesn't show up. We are trying to better understand customer views on social support experience, so your participation in this interview project would be greatly appreciated if you have time. Thanks for helping make community forums a great place.
If required we can also remove this. True, managing embedded devices is part of the capabilities of ConfigMgr Like I said initially, it's just the way it handles write filters. If you want to install software on a write filter enabled device, you can't workaround servicing. It's the best way to temporarily "disable" the write filter, allow an installation and "enable" the write filter again.
Now the 30 days as expired and I cannot use WDM : Is there any easy way to change the software back to workgroup licence? All forum topics Previous Topic Next Topic. Reply 1. RMontalvo 3 Zinc. Luke, Even though the software is free, it still requires you to register it after the 30 days. Roger Montalvo.
