You can get here by searching Control Panel for “Windows To Go”, it shows up under the Devices and Printers category.

April 2014 16:30 To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [mssms] wtgcreator.exe option: /enableBootRedirect That makes perfect sense. I’ve looked quickly at the boot entry on a win 8 host. Nothing obvious. I guess it changed something on the host itself then. Anyone with any details? How could this be scripted without using that exe? Thanks, roland From: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Schwan, Phil Sent: Mittwoch, 2. April 2014 16:19 To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [mssms] wtgcreator.exe option: /enableBootRedirect If I understand it correctly, when a WTG boot key is configured with that option, if the workstation doesn’t have USB set before HDD in the boot order but the HDD is booting Windows 8, the Win8 will recognize that the WTG device is present and instead defer to it to boot (I still haven’t discovered yet how exactly that’s accomplished; it must be native to Win8 because it can’t rely on any modifications to the local boot manager/loader). AFAIK, the enableBootRedirect only applies to Win8x host machines; with Win7 you still have to have USB before HDD in the boot order to have it automatically boot into WTG. -Phil _________________________________________________________________ Phil Schwan | Technical Architect, Enterprise Windows Services Project Leadership Associates | 2000 Town Center, Suite 1900, Southfield, MI 48075 Lync: 312.756.1626 Mobile: 419.262.5133 <http://www.projectleadership.net/> www.projectleadership.net Lead with Strategy.
