ForceShutdownNow (Standard 8 Module Reference)
7/8/2014
Review the applicable Embedded Core modules and any examples for the ForceShutdownNow setting in Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8).
This setting specifies whether the device shuts down immediately after the Mode setting is applied or the generalize configuration pass is complete.
Note
Do not use Generalize settings in conjunction with Reseal settings. If you do, Reseal settings are ignored.
For a description of Generalize and Reseal processing, see Deployment.
Modules
The following table shows the modules that you can apply this setting to. In Image Configuration Editor (ICE), you can follow the corresponding path to set this setting for a module.
Module |
Path |

XML Example
These settings show how to set ForceShutdownNow.
Generalize
The following XML example shows how to configure the device to shut down after the generalize configuration pass, and start in Audit mode.
<Generalize>
<ForceShutdownNow>true</ForceShutdownNow>
<Mode>Audit</Mode>
</Generalize>
Reseal
The following example shows how to process all other settings in the auditUser configuration pass, and then shuts the computer down with no end-user interaction.
<Reseal>
<ForceShutdownNow>true</ForceShutdownNow>
<Mode>Audit</Mode>
</Reseal>
For an XML example that shows how Reseal is used in a deployment with no asynchronous or synchronous commands, see Deployment XML Example.
