Network Install on Multiple Workstations
The Silent Install System can also be used to install Deep Freeze on multiple workstations over a
network. If the workstations on the network use logon scripts, the scripts can be used to install Deep
Freeze on all networked workstations automatically. All workstations will restart Frozen and ready for
use after installation has completed.
Use the following command line syntaxes to create an install error report log file:
•
\\Server Name\Share Name\DF6Wks.exe /Install >> dfinstall.log
NOTE: the
dfinstall.log
Installing Over Existing Deep Freeze Versions
Unless the Update Deep Freeze Software feature is used in the console (for Deep Freeze 6.0 and
higher), all existing Deep Freeze versions must be uninstalled prior to performing any new Deep
Freeze installation.
Installing Using Imaging
Deep Freeze has been designed to work with all major imaging and desktop management software. Use
either an Attended Install or the Silent Install System to install Deep Freeze on a master image.
Deep Freeze must be prepared for deployment before finalizing a master image. To prepare the master
image for deployment, restart the workstation into a Thawed state and log on to Deep Freeze using the
keyboard shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+F6. Select the Clone tab, and click Set Flag.
After imaging, the workstations require an additional restart for Deep Freeze to correctly detect the
changes in disk configuration. If the workstations are imaged in an unattended mode, steps should be
taken to ensure the workstations are restarted to allow the configuration to update.
To return to the Frozen state after imaging is complete, set Deep Freeze to Boot Thawed on next n number
of restarts (in the master image) so that after n number of restarts, the workstation is automatically
Frozen. Alternatively, use Deep Freeze Command Line Control to Freeze selected workstations.
Target Install
Deep Freeze can also be deployed using a Target Install from the Enterprise Console.
