Deep Freeze Overview
About Deep Freeze
With over five million installations, Deep Freeze has a proven track record of non-restrictive, complete
Windows protection. Deep Freeze provides network administrators with a simple and 100% successful
method of maintaining desktop systems and reduces software technical support to an absolute
minimum. Completely invulnerable to hacking, Deep Freeze instantly protects and preserves original
computer configurations. No matter what changes a user makes to a workstation, simply restart to
eradicate all changes and reset the computer to its original state. Computing environments are easier
to manage and maintain, and expensive computer assets are kept running at 100% capacity. The result
is a truly protected and parallel network, completely free of harmful viruses and unwanted programs.
System Requirements
The Deep Freeze Configuration Administrator and the Enterprise Console require Windows 2000/XP/Vista
to function properly. Deep Freeze requires Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP/Vista and 10% free hard drive
space. The hardware requirements are the same as the recommended requirements for the host operating
system.
Deep Freeze Enterprise Components
Deep Freeze uses different colored icons to represent the functions of its components.
Files identified by a red icon should generally only be installed on an administrator computer, while
yellow icons should generally only be installed on workstations:
Deep Freeze Enterprise Configuration Administrator installation file
The Configuration Administrator application is used to create customized, pre-
configured workstation installation program files, Workstation Seeds, the Enterprise
Console, and generate One Time Passwords
The Enterprise Console application is used to centrally deploy, monitor, manage, and
maintain Deep Freeze installations
Optional: The Server Manager is used to install, uninstall, manage and maintain the
Deep Freeze Enterprise Server Service that allows Remote Console operation
A customized Deep Freeze workstation installation file is created in the Configuration
Administrator and deployed to workstations within the enterprise
Optional: A Workstation Seed is used to Target Install Deep Freeze from the Enterprise
Console; this Seed can be freely imaged with no license restrictions to enable rapid
deployment
