  • Page 2 ���������� Introduction The process of updating the virus definitions on workstations protected by Deep Freeze Enterprise involves three fundamental steps: Rebooting the workstations into a Thawed state so the updates are kept upon restart. Updating the Virus Signature File. Shutting down or restarting the workstation into a Frozen state. This white paper provides technical information on how to perform these steps with Panda’s BusinesSecure Antivirus.
  • Page 3 ���������� Manually Using the Deep Freeze Enterprise Console The Enterprise Console contains a toolbar at the top of the screen that allows quick access to the functions of the Console. To boot a workstation into the Thawed state, select the workstation and click the Thaw Workstation icon on the toolbar.
  • Page 4 ���������� Setting up a Scheduled Maintenance Period There are two ways to set up a Scheduled Maintenance Period. The first way is to set it up when configuring the Deep Freeze Enterprise installation files with the Configuration Administrator (best method for new deployments). The second way is to create or update the Maintenance Period using the Enterprise Console.
  • Page 5 files, including standard run-once login scripts. The DFC executable is installed in the same directory as the Configuration Administrator: C:\Program Files\Faronics\Deep Freeze Enterprise\Dfc.exe DFC commands require a password with command line rights. One Time Passwords (OTPs) cannot be used.
  • Page 6 ���������� DFC Status Query Syntax Description Queries workstation if it is Frozen. Returns if Thawed. DFC get /ISFROZEN Returns 1 if Frozen. Configuration Update Syntax Description Replaces Deep Freeze configuration information. Works on Thawed or Frozen workstations. DFC password /CFG=[path] depfrz.rdx Password changes are effective immediately.
  • Page 7 ���������� Updating the Virus Signature File This document provides three different ways to approach Virus Signature File updates for the Panda BusinesSecure Antivirus. 1) Do Nothing The Virus Signature File keeps getting updated every time the workstations are restarted, but the changes are lost upon reboots.
  • Page 8 ���������� The Protection Update Wizard appears. After clicking Next, a screen appears, asking what Virus Signature File you want to use to update the workstations. By default this option is set to Last. Click Next. Then click Finish on the next screen. The new job is created (to verify job, click on Jobs tab) and the updating process begins.
  • Page 9 ���������� 3) Mounted Hard Disks This method does not involve setting the workstations into a Thawed state before making the updates but rather mounting Thawed partitions so the virus definition updates can take place while the workstations are in the Frozen state. Windows 2000 introduced the ability to mount a hard disk drive or partition to an empty folder on an existing hard disk drive instead of assigning a drive letter to that partition.
  • Page 10 ���������� Preparing the Windows 2000 / XP Workstations for BusinesSecure Antivirus Installation on Mounted Partitions Some Panda’s BusinesSecure Antivirus scan engine updates make modifications to the Windows Registry and, since this is protected by Deep Freeze, we strongly recommend that the following method be used just for virus definitions updates. The following steps detail the procedure for installing Panda’s BusinesSecure Antivirus client software on the workstations in a manner that allows automatic updates to proceed correctly.
  • Page 11 ���������� The size of the partitions has been selected to allow Panda BusinesSecure enough room to enable it to update the files it uses. Because these are going to be moved to new drives, the size limit of 100MB and 50MB respectively are always enforced, regardless of how much free space remains on the C:\ drive.
  • Page 12 ���������� The first screen of the wizard prompts for the type of partition required. Extended partition should be checked because we are creating multiple small partitions and do not want to limit the number of partitions that can be created. Click Next.
  • Page 13 ���������� Once the extended partition is created, the logical drives can be created and mounted on the empty folders that need to be created. This can be done by right-clicking on the free space now present on the drive (as shown below) and selecting Create Logical Drive.
  • Page 14 ���������� The next screen prompts for the size of partition to be created. Specify enough size to allow for updates to the application to be applied, but not enough for the space to be used to install additional applications. In this example, a 100MB partition size is selected.
  • Page 15 ���������� The last screen shows confirmation of the selected options once the partition has been successfully created. Click Finish to exit the wizard and begin formatting the new drive. The previous steps should be repeated for each directory that the application requires to be Thawed, substituting the appropriate names and volume sizes for each drive.
  • Page 16 ���������� After all the appropriate drives have been created, Panda BusinesSecure Antivirus should be installed normally using the manufacturer’s installation program. Refer to your imaging solution documentation for information regarding imaging with mounted drives. Workstations should be imaged either in RAW format or in a sector by sector mode.
