The Deep Freeze Concept

What Is It?

Kernel-level driver loads before Windows

Not an imaging solution

No backup or snapshot

No duplication of data

Unrestricted user environment

Guaranteed not to interfere with applications

System Restore – User Flexibility

Users have full access to system software and settings Mapping/ folder redirection allows users the ability to store their documents, pictures, music, etc. IT admins can easily create automated update and maintenance periods

Balanced Security

Redirecting user profiles and application data to a Thawed (unprotected) partition or drive allows data to be retained

Users can store and access their files, while still enjoying the total system consistency that Deep Freeze offers

Configuration of Deep Freeze

• A few things to remember

• Decide if you wish to let users store data locally on the machine

• If not educate end users about not saving locally

• Before installation defrag your machine and run a virus scan.

• Run any cleaning tools or optimisation software

The key thing to remember is Deep Freeze will keep your machines the way they are. If they are pristine, clean and performing well they will stay that way!

Configuration through the install agent
