Set Automatic Updates for Windows to Download and Notify

If Windows is set to allow Automatic Updates, it can reduce system performance
when the updates happen in the background. This may be inconvenient when the
user is busy working on an important document. Therefore, it is recommended that
Windows Updates be set to Notification mode. Windows will then notify the user
when updates are available, and the user can then download and install the updates
later at their convenience.

1. To change the setting, select Start --> Control Panel.

2. Select “Automatic Updates”.

3. Select “Notify me but don’t automatically download or install them.”

4. Click on the button to save and exit.

Setting up Network Connections

Network connectivity is configured and controlled by the ViSoS Runtime
Environment (VRE) in which the Windows VM is run. By default, network
connectivity utilizes NAT’d (Network Address Translation) networking, where the
physical IP address of the drive is determined by the DHCP gateway and the
network that the host computer is plugged into. The VM is launched within a VMM,
which then creates a unique address for the guest operating system. Thus the VM is
not using the IP address of the host computer directly, but is routed through the
NAT gateway.

The RocIT Drive is pre-configured to support wired network connectivity
automatically, so booting the drive off of any computer that is physically connected
to the network through a wired connection will automatically provide network
access within the guest OS and virtual machine.

Setting up Wireless Network

To set up and configure Network settings, the user will need to first access the VRE
Desktop in VT7 (see Section 4.3 on page 9). The VRE controls network connections
and proxies them into the VM’s that hold the installed OS’s.

1. If the drive is not locked down by an enterprise Admin, then after booting the

drive and logging into the ViSoS Authenticator screen, the user will see the VM
Selection dialog box. From here the user would normally launch into a VM OS.
