Situation
Deep Freeze software does not save Policy or NAL Application
changes to Workstation.
Policies are lost after reboot of Deep Freeze computer.
Policies are lost after reboot of Deep Freeze computer.
Resolution
In order to
make permanent changes to the Deep Freeze-managed PCs, the
administrator must use a password and "Thaw" the PC in order to
stop the roll-back feature. In the case of Policies delivered by
ZENworks, the best practice may be to apply them before the
software is installed, or to "Thaw" the workstations temporarily to
apply Policies or other changes.
***Note:
This will not work if multiple users are logging in to the same
workstation.
Additional Information
Deep Freeze
software from Faronics Technologies is a utility program designed
to record the changes to a workstation and return it to a previous
state once the PC is rebooted. Typical uses are in school or
computer lab settings where users are not trusted, and
administrators want to erase the changes those users make. When the
PC is rebooted, all new applications and other changes are deleted
from the PC. This includes new Policies if they are applied after
the Deep Freeze software is active.
If Policies are delivered and applied while the Deep Freeze is monitoring, or if NAL delivers Applications while it is on, they will all be lost on the next reboot.
