Abstract
Examples of methods and apparatus are provided for obtaining a configuration file over a public network and applying a persistent configuration change to a windows-based embedded image with a write-filter running on a mobile client and obviating reinstallation of an entire windows-based embedded image onto the mobile client. The apparatus may include a retrieval module of the mobile client that facilitates locating a remote repository server containing the configuration file. The retrieval module facilitate obtaining the configuration file over the public network from the remote repository server while the write-filter is enabled, while obviating reinstallation of an entire windows-based embedded image onto the mobile client. The apparatus may include an apply settings module of the mobile client that, each time the mobile client boots up, applies a configuration change to the windows-based embedded image while the write-filter is enabled, based on the configuration file or another configuration file.
