Utilities Aected by Log O, Restart, and Shut Down

The following utilities are aected by logging o, restarting, and shutting down the thin client device:

• Unied Write Filter: Upon system start, the Unied Write Filter utility is automatically started. We recommend you use the UWF as

described in Microsoft documentation. See www.microsoft.com and navigate to the Unied Write Filter documentation.

• NetXClean Utility: NetXClean is a clean-up utility that keeps extraneous information from being stored on the ash memory. Clean-up

is triggered automatically on restart, shut-down, or user log-o. If you want to keep certain prole congurations, for example, printers,

be sure to congure NetXClean to refrain from cleaning up any number of explicitly declared proles. For more information about

NetXClean, see Before Conguring your thin clients and Understanding the NetXClean Utility.

• Power Management: A Monitor Saver turns o the video signal to the monitor, allowing the monitor to enter a power-saving mode

after a designated idle time. Power settings are available in Start Menu > All apps > Control Panel > Power Options.

• Wake-on-LAN: This feature discovers all thin clients in your LAN, and enables you to wake them up by clicking a button. This feature

allows WDM software. For example, to perform image updates and remote administration functions on devices that have been shut

down or are on standby. To use this feature, the thin client power must remain on.

Unied Write Filter (UWF) Details: You can use Unied Write Filter (UWF) to protect your storage media. UWF intercepts all write attempts

to a protected volume and redirects those write attempts to a virtual overlay. This improves the reliability and stability of your device and

reduces the wear on write-sensitive media, such as ash memory media like solid-state drives. In UWF, an overlay is a virtual storage space

that saves changes made to the underlying protected volumes. UWF intercepts all modications to any sector on a protected volume. A

sector is the smallest unit that can be changed on a storage volume. Any time the le system attempts to modify a protected sector, UWF
