Provides password protection and complete security
Prevents workstation drift and accidental system misconfiguration
Helps maintain software compliance across all workstations

Control over Managing Workstations

The Deep Freeze Enterprise Console (part of the Deep Freeze Enterprise/Server Enterprise) allows IT administrators to manage Deep Freeze on workstations over the network.

Schedule restart, shutdown, Wake-On-LAN, Freeze, Thaw and Thaw Locked tasks dynamically to take place once or on a regular basis
Change maintenance and restart/shutdown schedules on the fly
Power-on workstations using Wake-On-LAN technology
Use Workstation Seed for workstation communication and installation
Manage workstations easily with User Defined Groups
Quickly populate multiple groups or sub-groups with smart automatic filters or import groups from Active Directory
Remotely deploy, execute, and control software on workstations
Invoke system maintenance on demand with “Thaw Locked” mode
Update all pre-existing installation files automatically
Launch RDP and VNC sessions through the Enterprise Console
Create Remote and Multiple Consoles with the Deep Freeze Server Service Manager
Instantly send notification messages to workstations

Customized Configuration Options

Configuration such as setting the Deep Freeze passwords, Frozen drives, creating ThawSpaces, behavior for external drives, creating embedded events, scheduling maintenance and advanced network options can be done by the Configuration Administrator.

Create customized installation files
Pre-select Frozen Drives and selectively Freeze or Thaw fixed drives
Schedule automatic Restart/Shutdown times
Restart the computer once the user logs off
Shutdown workstations after a preset length of inactivity
Schedule Thawed Maintenance periods to perform Windows Updates through the Internet or a SUS/WSUS server or run a custom batch file during maintenance
Set up to 15 passwords for using at the workstation or via the command line

Security and Control

Ability to create a Customization Code that encrypts all communication between Deep Freeze computers and the Deep Freeze Console. Prevent unauthorized users from tampering with settings on Deep Freeze computers.

Encrypt all components with a unique Customization Code
Preset multiple passwords to be used on a workstation or via the Command Line Control with varying activation and expiration dates
Generate encrypted One Time or One Day Passwords
Disable keyboard and mouse during maintenance periods or on demand
Boot Control window provides ability for immediate reboot
Use Stealth Mode to hide the Deep Freeze system tray icon

Retaining User Data

User data can be retained on a non-system drive or a virtual drive called a ThawSpace. Data retained in a ThawSpace or a Thawed drive is not erased on reboot even when the computer is in a Frozen state.

Redirect user profiles, folders with user data and registry keys to a Thawed drive using Data Igloo
Create ThawSpaces on a workstation that can be used to store programs, save files, or make permanent changes
ThawSpaces can be visible or hidden
Specify the size and file system of the ThawSpace
Cache Windows Updates

Deployment Options

Deploy as a Silent Install or deploy as part of a master image. Deep Freeze offers multiple installation options.

Offers silent install option for rapid network deployment
Provides option to deploy on multiple workstations as part of a master image
Communicate with workstations over a LAN, WAN, or combination
Deep Freeze Command Line included in Workstation Installations
Support for multiple ports for use with Server Service Manager

Automatic Maintenance and Updates

Schedule Thawed Maintenance periods to perform Windows Updates through the Internet or a SUS/WSUS server or run a custom batch file during maintenance

Automatically download Windows updates even when the workstations are in a Frozen state
Apply Windows updates quickly from cached update files as soon as the workstations are in a Thawed state
Detects when updates are complete and automatically returns the computer back to a Frozen state, eliminating the need to set maintenance window completion times (Watch Video)
Schedule multiple Thawed Periods to perform Windows updates (through the Internet or WSUS) or run a custom batch file to update other software
Update Maintenance schedules on the fly right from the Enterprise Console without disabling Deep Freeze on the workstations
