Scheduling Windows Updates in a Deep Freeze Maintenance Period
The first method involves setting up a Maintenance Period using the Deep Freeze Configuration
Administrator. An option is selected so Deep Freeze will run Windows updates after the computer
goes into Maintenance Mode.
Complete the following steps to configure a Maintenance Period:
1.
In the Deep Freeze Configuration Administrator, click the Embedded Events tab.
2.
Specify day and time the Maintenance Period will occur. The window should look similar
to the following:
In the above screen, Tuesday has been selected for Maintenance with the Run: Windows Update option.
At 1:00 AM, the computer restarts in a Thawed state. At 4:00 AM, the computer restarts in a Frozen
state. The Disable Keyboard and Mouse checkbox has been checked; this means that the keyboard and
mouse are locked while the computer is in Maintenance Mode.
If a client computer is configured with this option, it would attempt to download and run updates from
Microsoft's web site during the Maintenance Period.
