Scripting Remote Boot settings

  • Artigo

Remote Boot Manager on your Remote Boot Server is normally used for configuring how your XPe client machines are going to connect to your server. This configuration information is stored in the Rbsprov.ini file under \Windows Embedded\Remote Boot Service .

Although it is recommended that you use the Remote Boot Manager UI to edit your settings it is sometimes more efficient to edit the configuration file itself. This can be done through a text editor, and can be scripted.

In Rbsprov.ini each policy list item is should be listed on a separate line Parameters within each line should be separated by a space. For example:

00-50-8B-CA-67-A2
* enable
name="Front Office Cash Register"
imagename="my-disk.sdi"
bootprog="startrom.n12"
bootserver="1.2.3.4"
bootparams="/debug /debugport=com1 /baudrate=57600"

Any changes made to the Rbsprov.ini file are automatically detected by the Remote Boot service.

NOTE: If you have edited an Rbsprov.ini file and then open it with Remote Boot Manager, you may encounter some of the following problems:   

  • Records with invalid MAC addresses are not displayed.
  • Text fields that contain more than the maximum character length are truncated.
