4. 

Click the 

Maintenance 

tab and place a check in the 

Enable Thawed Maintenance Schedule

 

check box. Also place a check beside each day you want the Maintenance Schedule to run. 

5. 

Once the days are checked, set the Maintenance start time for each day in the 

Start Time

 

column, and the end time in the 

Stop Time 

column. 

6. 

It is recommended that the 

Disable keys

 option is checked so the keyboard and mouse are 

disabled while the workstations are in the 

Thawed

 state. 

It is also important to check the 

Shutdown 

box so Deep Freeze shuts the workstations down 

at the end of the Maintenance Period. Otherwise the workstations are restarted after the 

Maintenance Period is complete.

7. 

Close the 

Configuration Screen

. A pop-up message appears requesting the administrator to 

select the workstations to send the new configuration to. 

8. 

Select the workstations to be updated and click 

Send

This action updates all the selected workstations’ configuration on the fly. This means the 

workstations  don’t  have  to  be  in  the 

Thawed

  state  for  the  configuration  updates  to  take 

place.

Controlling Deep Freeze Through the Command Line Control - DFC 

The  Deep  Freeze 

Command  Line  Control

  (

DFC

)  offers  network  administrators  increased  flexibility 

in  managing  Deep  Freeze  workstations.  DFC  works  in  combination  with  third  party  enterprise 

management tools and/or central management solutions. This combination allows administrators to 

update workstations on the fly and on demand. 
It is important to note that DFC is not a stand-alone application. DFC integrates seamlessly with any 

solution that can run script files, including standard run-once login scripts.
The DFC executable is installed in the same directory as the Configuration Administrator: 

C:\Program Files\Faronics\Deep Freeze Enterprise\Dfc.exe

DFC commands require a password with command line rights. One Time Passwords (OTPs) cannot 

be used.
