Command-line options uwfmgr file commit C: uwfmgr file add-exclusion C: uwfmgr file remove-exclusion C: uwfmgr overlay get-config uwfmgr registry /? Description This command-line commits changes to a specified file to overlay for a Unified Write Filter-protected volume. Administrator-level permissions are required to use this command. The parameter must be fully qualified, including the volume and path. uwfmgr.exe uses the volume specified in the parameter to determine which volume contains the file exclusion list for the file. There is a single space between volume name and file_path. For example, to commit a file C:\Program Files \temp.txt the command would be uwfmgr commit C: \Program Files\temp.txt. This command-line adds the specified file to the file exclusion list of the volume protected by Unified Write Filter. Unified Write Filter starts excluding the file from filtering after the next system restart. For example, to add a registry directory HKLM\SYSTEM\WPA, the command is UWFmgr.exe registry add-exclusion HKLM \SYSTEM\WPA. This command-line removes the specified file from the file exclusion list of the volume protected by Unified Write Filter. Unified Write Filter stops excluding the file from filtering after the next system restart. This command-line displays configuration settings for the Unified Write Filter overlay. Displays information for both the current and the next session. This command-line displays configuration settings for exclusions of registry keys. NOTE: If you open a command prompt window and enter uwfmgr ? or uwfmgr help, all available commands are displayed. For information on a command, use uwfmgr help . For example, for information on the command, volume, enter uwfmgr help volume. CAUTION: • Administrators should use file security to prevent unwanted usage of these commands. • Do not attempt to flush the data to the disk while another flush operation is in progress. Enabling and disabling the Write Filter using the desktop icons The Unified Write Filter can also be enabled or disabled using the Write Filter Enable/Disable desktop icons. The icon in the notification area of the taskbar indicates the active or inactive status of the Unified Write Filter by the colors green and red respectively. • Dell Wyse WF Enable Icon (Green)-Double-clicking this icon enables the Unified Write Filter. This utility is similar to running the uwfmgr filter enable command-line. However, double-clicking this icon immediately restarts the system and enables the Unified Write Filter. The Unified Write Filter status icon in the notification area of the taskbar is green when the Unified Write Filter is enabled. • Dell Wyse WF Disable Icon(Red)-Double-clicking this icon disables the Unified Write Filter. This utility is similar to running the uwfmgr filter disable command-line option. However, double-clicking this icon restarts the system immediately. The Unified Write Filter status icon in the notification area of the taskbar remains red if the Unified Write Filter is disabled. 30 Additional administrator utility and settings information
