Review the applicable Embedded Core modules and any examples for the Value setting in Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8).

This setting contains a string that specifies an IP address, domain name, or password.

Default Routing Values

The following table shows the default routing prefix lengths and subnet masks for IPv4 addresses.

Class	Start	End	Default routing prefix length	Default subnet mask in dotted decimal
A	0.0.0.0	127.255.255.255	8	255.0.0.0
B	128.0.0.0	191.255.255.255	16	255.255.0.0
C	192.0.0.0	223.255.255.255	24	255.255.255.0
D	224.0.0.0	239.255.255.255	Multicasting	Multicasting
E	240.0.0.0	255.255.255.254	Reserved; do not use	Reserved; do not use

Multicast addresses usually have a prefix length of 32, although other prefix lengths are allowed.

Modules

The following table shows the modules that you can apply this setting to. In Image Configuration Editor (ICE), you can follow the corresponding path to set this setting for a module.

Module	Path	Setting Description
Setup	Products/Embedded Core/Setup/ImageInstall/DataImage/InstallFrom/MetaData/Value	Specifies a data image in a Windows image (.wim) file. Use this setting with MetaData\Key to select an image based on the index, the name, or the description of the data image. To determine what images are available to be installed, see the DataImage part of Setup.
Setup	Products/Embedded Core/Setup/ImageInstall/OSImage/InstallFrom/MetaData/Value	Specifies the value of the Key setting. MetaData specifies a Standard 8 image in a Windows image (.wim) file. Use this setting with the Key to select Standard 8 image based on the index, the name, or the description of the image. Use the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) /Get-ImageInfo command to determine which images and editions are included on your Standard 8 DVD or Windows image (.wim) file. For instructions on how to select a Standard 8 image using the MetaData setting, see the Best Practices for Image Deployment topic in the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) Technical Reference.
Shell-Setup	Products/Embedded Core/Shell-Setup/AutoLogon/Password/Value	Specifies the automatic logon password. This setting can be empty.
Shell-Setup	Products/Embedded Core/Shell-Setup/UserAccounts/AdministratorPassword/Value	Specifies the administrator password. If the computer is connected to a domain, this value must meet domain password complexity requirements. This setting can be empty. By default, the built-in administrator account is disabled in all default clean installations. You can enable the built-in administrator account during unattended installations by setting the Username to Administrator. This enables the built-in administrator account, even if a password is not specified in the AdministratorPassword setting. Security Note: Creating a blank administrator password is a security risk. If no values are set for the administrator password and Username is not set to Administrator, the administrator account is disabled. Both AutoLogon XML Example and AdministratorPassword settings are now needed for automatic logon in audit mode to work. Both settings should be added to the auditSystem configuration pass.
Shell-Setup	Products/Embedded Core/Shell-Setup/UserAccounts/LocalAccounts/LocalAccount/Password/Value	Specifies the password for a LocalAccount to be created during installation.
