Introduction
Deep Freeze provides network administrators with a simple and 100 percent successful method of
maintaining desktop systems and reduces software technical support to an absolute minimum.
Completely invulnerable to hacking, Deep Freeze instantly protects and preserves original computer
configurations. No matter what changes a user makes to a workstation, simply restart to eradicate all
changes and reset the computer to its original state. Computing environments are easier to manage and
maintain, and expensive computer assets are kept running at 100 percent capacity. The result is a truly
protected and parallel network, completely free of harmful viruses and unwanted programs.
Who should use this document?
This document is intended for anyone who wants to use Deep Freeze in an Altiris environment. It
explains how to:
Install the Altiris agent remotely
Install and upgrade the Configuration Administrator
Install and Uninstall Deep Freeze Workstation files and Seeds
Install and use Deep Freeze Command Line Control (DFC) to manage workstations both manually
and as an Altiris job
To use this document, you should:
Have a working knowledge of Altiris Deployment Console
Be familiar with creating Altiris jobs
This document assumes that all the components of your Altiris environment are installed, configured,
and operating correctly. The examples are based on Altiris Deployment Console version 6.0 (build
206).
Installing the Altiris Remote Agent
Before you can install and manage Deep Freeze remotely, you must install the Altiris Remote Agent on
the workstations (Altiris calls these clients) where you want to install Deep Freeze.
This following procedure is our recommended method for installing the Altiris Remote Agent. For
more information on this and other methods for installing the remote Agent, see the Altiris Deployment
Console documentation.
To install the Remote Agent on client computers, you need an account with local user rights. You only
need to use this account when installing Remote Agent, so either use your domain administrator or a
domain account with local user rights.
To install the Altiris Remote Agent:
1.
Confirm that your account has local user rights (
admin$ Share
), by browsing to:
\\<hostname>\admin$
and replacing
<hostname>
with the name of the workstation on
which you want to install the Remote Agent. If you can access this share you have sufficient
rights.
