The thing I'd like to see is to be able to install Steadystate and<br> enable Windows Disk Protection, via WPKG. I believe installing is<br> possible, but AFAIK there is no easy way to automate WDP.<br> <br></blockquote>
</div><br>According to the SteadyState handbook (<a href="http://download.microsoft.com/download/d/2/6/d261b347-2f03-4bcf-8240-8b7a66beef8a/Windows%20SteadyState%20Handbook.pdf">http://download.microsoft.com/download/d/2/6/d261b347-2f03-4bcf-8240-8b7a66beef8a/Windows%20SteadyState%20Handbook.pdf</a>) 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.<br>
<br>From the handbook:<br>--Command-line Parameters--<br><br>_DisableWDPAndReboot_<br>Disables and uninstalls Windows Disk Protection. This process requires<br>three restarts to:<br>1. Clear the cache.<br>2. Commit changes made to the computer that remove the Windows<br>
Disk Protection driver.<br>3. Finish uninstalling Windows Disk Protection.<br><br>Example:<br>sctui /DisableWDPAndReboot<br><br><br>_EnableWDPAndReboot_<br>Installs and enables Windows Disk Protection. A console window opens<br>
to show status messages during installation. If installation was<br>successful, the system is automatically restarted to complete enabling Windows Disk Protection.<br><br>Example:<br>sctui /EnableWDPAndReboot<br>
