If you use both the FBWF and Cloning components in your run-time image, there are additional configuration steps for successfully cloning your write-protected image.

Use the following procedure to mass-deploy FBWF.

To use FBWF with Cloning

  1. Open your configuration by using Target Designer and add the required FBWF and System Cloning components to your configuration. For more information about the required components, see FBWF Installation and Configuration and Mass Deployment.

  2. Configure FBWF to start in a disabled mode.

    1. Expand the FBWF component node in the configuration browser pane and select Settings. The FBWF Configuration Settings appear in the details pane.
    2. Clear the Enable FBWF check box.

  3. Set the System Cloning Tool component cmiResealPhase to 0.

    1. In the configuration editor, select the System Cloning Tool component. The component details are displayed in the details pane.

    2. In the details pane, choose Advanced. The Advanced Component Properties window opens.

    3. In the cmiResealPhase box, type the phase during which the reseal will occur.

      For more information, see Creating a Run-Time Image for Cloning.

  4. Check dependencies and build the run-time image.

    1. Choose Check Dependencies from the Configuration menu. Resolve missing dependencies.
    2. Build the run-time image. Choose Build Target Image from the Configuration menu.

  5. Deploy your run-time image and allow FBA to run.

  6. After FBA is finished, install applications or make additional configurations to your run-time image. Also, verify that FBWF is configured properly on your test system by checking the \Windows\FBA\FBALOG.txt file.

  7. After you are finished modifying your run-time image, create the gold master image that you will deploy to your devices. When you are ready, reseal the device using the fbreseal.exe utility. To execute the fbreseal utility, open the command prompt and type:

    fbreseal.exe

    After being resealed, your run-time image is ready to be mass-deployed. For more information, see Reseal Phase.

  8. Reboot the device.

  9. After you reboot your run-time image, you must enable FBWF by the running the following FBWF Manager command:

    fbwfmgr /enable

  10. Reboot the device.
