Getting Started
ENTERPRISE
Using the Deep Freeze Configuration Administrator
The Configuration Administrator contains five tabs for configuring Installation Programs. The tabs
include:
Passwords, Drives, Embedded Events, Maintenance,
and
Advanced Options
. Detailed information
on these tabs is available in the Deep Freeze Enterprise User Guide.
One Time Password Generation System
The
One Time Passwords
dialog is used to create a special temporary password to Deep Freeze that
expires at midnight on the day it was created. A One Time Password (OTP) is useful if a password is
forgotten or if a configuration file was created without any passwords defined. The
One Time Passwords
dialog can be accessed from the
File
menu.
Uninstalling the Configuration Administrator
To remove the Configuration Administrator, open the
Add/Remove Programs
utility in the Windows
Control Panel. Select
Deep Freeze Administrator - Enterprise
and click
Change/Remove
.
Configure Workstation Installation Program File
The steps described below are the recommended requirements for installation program deployment.
Please refer to the user guide for other configuration options.
Create a Password for the Workstation Installation Program File
In the Configuration Administrator, go to the
Passwords
tab. Here, you have the option to create a
password for the workstation installation file. This gives you a password to use when accessing the
Deep Freeze icon on the client after Deep Freeze is installed.
To create a password, complete the following steps:
1. Select the checkbox for the first password under the
Enable
column.
2. Select the
Workstation
option.
3. Enter a password to use in the
Password
column.
Create Workstation Installation Program File
Click the
Create
button to create a Workstation installation program file. By default, the file name for
this program is
DFWks.exe.
Workstation Installation and Workstation Seed
The workstation install and the Workstation Seed both install the networking components onto the
client machine, which allows the client to be seen in the Enterprise Console. The Workstation Seed
only contains the communication components, while the workstation installation includes both the
communication components and the Deep Freeze protection. Installing the seed does not protect the
client machines with Deep Freeze.
Install Workstation Installation Program File
After you have created a customized installation program file with the Configuration Administrator,
you can deploy Deep Freeze to workstations. Disable or close any background utilities and antivirus
software prior to installation. At the end of the installation, the machine reboots.
Attended Install
To perform an attended install of Deep Freeze, complete the following steps:
1. Run the installation program file (
DFWks.exe
) on your workstation.
