4. Click on 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. 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.
DFC commands require a password with command line rights. OTPs cannot be used.
List all commands by calling DFC without parameters.
