Deep Freeze Command Line Control (DFC.EXE)
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 same directory as the Configuration Administrator:
C:\Program Files\Faronics\Deep Freeze Professional\Dfc.exe
DFC commands require a password with command line rights. OTP’s cannot be used.
