Deep Freeze Enterprise User Guide
Deep Freeze can be installed directly on a computer without having to use the installation dialog
box by completing the following steps.
1. Locate the Deep Freeze installation program file (DFWks.exe) on the target computer.
2. Right-click on the icon and choose Create Shortcut.
3. Right-click on the shortcut and choose Properties.
4. Edit the path of the Target field by typing /install or /uninstall at the end of the path.
Example Shortcut Target:
C:\Documents and Settings\DFWks.exe /install
Double-clicking on the new shortcut results in the immediate installation or uninstallation of
Deep Freeze, followed by a restart of the computer.
Deep Freeze must be in a Thawed state before /uninstall can be used.
If the hard drive is too fragmented, it is not possible to create ThawSpace(s). The
installation is aborted.
The Silent Install System can also be used to install Deep Freeze on multiple computers 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\DFWks.exe /Install >> my.log
Unless the Update Deep Freeze Software feature is used (for Deep Freeze 6.3 and higher), all
existing Deep Freeze versions must be uninstalled prior to performing any new Deep Freeze
installation.
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 computer 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.
Create an image of your computer immediately as per your process.
