Deploying Deep Freeze

After a customized installation program file has been created using the Configuration Administrator,
Deep Freeze can be deployed to workstations using an Attended Install, the Silent Install System, or as
part of an imaging process.
All background utilities and antivirus software should be disabled and all applications should be closed
prior to installation. These programs may interfere with the installation which could result in Deep
Freeze not functioning correctly.
The workstation restarts after any type of installation is completed. Deep Freeze must be in a Thawed
state for any type of uninstall to succeed.
Any existing ThawSpace will be deleted during an uninstall if:
• the option to retain existing ThawSpace was not checked in the Configuration
Administrator
• the ThawSpace was not created with Deep Freeze Professional Version 5 or later
• the ThawSpace is on a Windows 95/98/Me workstation.

previously been installed. If there is an existing ThawSpace, Deep Freeze displays a dialog
asking if it should be retained or deleted.
