NOTE: Dell Write Filter does not support registry filtering.

Unified Write Filter disk overlay

Unified Write Filter can be configured to store the overlay either in RAM (RAM-based), or in a pre-allocated file on the system volume

(disk-based). In a disk-based overlay, UWF uses a pre-allocated file that is created on the system volume to increase the available space

for the overlay.

Due to the availability of more disk space in PCs, Wyse Converter for PCs 2.0 configures the UWF to store the overlay in a pre-allocated

file on the system volume (disk-based) and configures the size as per the following table:

Table 2. UWF disk overlay size

Disk size UWF Disk Overlay

Less or equal to 10 GB 2 GB

More than 10 GB 4 GB

More than 25 GB 8 GB

Dynamic RAMDisk configuration based on Write Filter status

RAMDiskSize application monitors and determines the RAMDisk size based on the status of Write Filter. When the write filter is enabled,

the RAMDiskSize is set to 100 MB. If the system RAM is less than 4 GB, and the write filter is disabled, the RAMDiskSize is set to 100 MB.

Also, the system temp is redirected to C:\Windows\Temp.

If the system RAM is 4 GB or higher, then the RAMDiskSize is set to 2 GB.

On Windows 7 32-bit operating system, if the RAM is set to more than 4 GB then the RAMDiskSize is also set to 4 GB. This is because

Windows 7 32-bit operating system supports only 4 GB SKU of RAM.

Wyse Easy Setup

Wyse Easy Setup enables administrators to quickly and easily deploy configurations on devices with Wyse Converter for PC. You can

create a kiosk mode to lock down the device to prevent users from accessing any features or functions on the device outside of the kiosk

mode. You can also customize the kiosk interface to enable or disable user access to specific settings. The customized desktop can be

configured on-premise or remotely using Wyse Management Suite.

Wyse Easy Setup can be installed as part of Wyse Converter for PCs 2.0 installation.
