Embedded Lockdown Manager Now Available for Download

Microsoft has released the Embedded Lockdown Manager (ELM) and can be downloaded from the Microsoft Download website. ELM is a tool that enables detection and configuration of lockdown features on a Windows Embedded 8 Standard custom OS image.

Overview
Embedded Lockdown Manager automatically detects which lockdown features are installed on the device, and displays configuration options for only those features. Embedded Lockdown Manager uses Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) providers to detect and change configuration settings, and can export the settings to PowerShell scripts.

You can use Embedded Lockdown Manager to configure the following lockdown features for Standard 8:

• Keyboard Filter - Suppresses unwanted key combinations, such as Ctrl + Alt + Delete.
• Dialog Filter - Prevents unwanted pop-up windows and dialog boxes from appearing on the screen.
• Unified Write Filter - Protects physical media from write operations.
• Shell Launcher - Starts an alternate shell instead of the standard Windows shell.
