According to the SteadyState handbook (
http://download.microsoft.com/download/d/2/6/d261b347-2f03-4bcf-8240-8b7a66beef8a/Windows%20SteadyState%20Handbook.pdf)
if you have the latest version of SteadyState, you can use sctui.exe
(located in "Program Files/Windows SteadyState") to enable/disable WDP as
well as obtain current status info and more via WMI.

>From the handbook:
--Command-line Parameters--

_DisableWDPAndReboot_
Disables and uninstalls Windows Disk Protection. This process requires
three restarts to:
1. Clear the cache.
2. Commit changes made to the computer that remove the Windows
Disk Protection driver.
3. Finish uninstalling Windows Disk Protection.

Example:
sctui /DisableWDPAndReboot


_EnableWDPAndReboot_
Installs and enables Windows Disk Protection. A console window opens
to show status messages during installation. If installation was
successful, the system is automatically restarted to complete enabling
Windows Disk Protection.

Example:
sctui /EnableWDPAndReboot
