I've built out a Window ThinPC image which is the same as windows embedded, in my testing things work well with handling the write filter when deploying software. What are your specific concerns about the admin mode? When the write filter is turned off, it restarts the machine then puts up a screen notifying users that the device is under maintenance (don't remember the exact verbiage) and only an administrator can then log on to the device until it's completed.

We've been told by the hardware vendor that there are "many" issues with SCCM and the Enhanced Write Filter out of the box and that Microsoft has a number of SCCM patches for both the server and client sides that will be needed. The vendor said to open a support case with MS to get those patches because they are not publicly available. This is all from the vendor's mouth. They couldn't say what the patches were exactly just that we need to call Microsoft and request them. Nice, right? I don't believe our SCCM team has gone to Microsoft yet about these mysterious patches but I can check. We are just getting started though, so we're learning as we go along.

Just looking to learn through your experience with sccm client and write filter manipulation and maintenance windows, etc. gotchas... the part I want to minimize is how when the write filter is disabled and how the cm client sets the logon screen to being locked in admin only mode...
