Abstract
Examples of methods and apparatus are provided for automatic retrieval, parsing and application of configuration for a specific-purpose local client having a windows-based embedded image with a write-filter while obviating reinstallation of an entire windows-based embedded image onto the local client and while allowing persistent configuration change across a reboot. The apparatus may include a retrieval module of the local client configured to, each time the local client boots up, automatically locate a remote repository server containing a configuration file and automatically obtain the configuration file from the repository server over a network. The apparatus may include an apply settings module of the local client configured to, each time the local client boots up, automatically load the configuration file, automatically parse at least a portion of the configuration file, and automatically apply, to the embedded image, a configuration change based on the at least a portion of the configuration file.
