Page 11: Using.deep.freeze.command.line.control.to.control.deep.freeze
You can control an installed copy of Deep Freeze using ZENworks and Deep Freeze Command Line Control (DFC). The DFC.EXE application is installed by default in the C:\Program Files\Faronics\ Deep Freeze 6 Enterprise folder. You must copy it to workstations or run it by ZENworks from a publicly accessible network share on the local machine to control the status of the systems. - Page 12 Select Distribution Options > Application Files and add the DFC.exe application to the list of files to be copied to the workstation; for example, \\Earth\SYS\PUBLIC\Deep Freeze\DFC. exe will be copied to the C:\ partition. You can copy the file to any location on the system, but we recommend that you place the files in a location that exists on all workstations being installed.

Page 23: Application Dependencies
Application Dependencies In ZENworks you can make an application dependant on the execution of another application object prior to installation. In this case, you can make the installation of a specific application dependant on the push of a Thaw command to the workstation by creating an application object that Thaws the workstation when deployed.
