The new Windows Embedded Device Manager 2011 enables you to manage all your embedded devices with a single tool.
This new tool integrates into Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 and it not only allows you to deploy and update images – you can differentiate between device types. This way updates can be deployed, e.g. only to Thin Clients but not to kiosks however both device types run Windows Embedded Standard 7.
Another great feature is that Windows Embedded Device Manager 2011 is able to control the write filters which might be enabled on your devices. Normally when a system has a write filter enabled and updates are applied the updates are gone again after a reboot – this is because the filter drivers redirect all changes made to the disk into a RAM overlay which gets reset on reboot.
When deploying updates via the Device Manager the system will handle this case properly by deactivating and reactivating the filter drivers automatically.
La herramienta funciona con todos los sistemas operativos Windows Embedded Standard y Ready como:
- Windows XP Embedded
- Windows Embedded Standard 2009
- Windows Embedded Estándar 7
- Windows Embedded para puntos de servicio
- Windows Embedded POSReady 2009
y como se basa en System Center Configuration Manager 2007, también puede gestionar todos los sistemas Windows Embedded Enterprise.
