    Abstract: When it is desired to update a group of thin clients that have a common configuration, the update can be deployed to a reference device on which a replicate tool executes. The replicate tool can examine the file system and registry of the reference device and create a manifest that describes the current state. The manifest can then be published for access by an agent that executes on the thin clients in the group. When the agent receives the manifest, it can compare the received manifest to an existing manifest on the thin client that defines the thin client's current state to identify any artifacts that differ. The agent can then retrieve and install any artifacts the thin client needs to match the current state of the reference device.

    Abstract: A write filter can be configured to employ a dynamically expandable overlay. The size of the overlay could initially be small and could then grow and shrink during the current session based on demand. The overlay can span both RAM and disk to thereby allow the size of the overlay to be relatively large. When sufficient RAM is available, the overlay can be allowed to grow in RAM. In contrast, if RAM is low, the overlay can grow on disk. Also, artifacts in the overlay can be moved from the RAM portion to the disk portion to reduce the amount of RAM consumed by the overlay. Because the overlay is dynamically expandable, it will typically not become full and will therefore not force a reboot.
