User manual FARONICS DEEP FREEZE ENTERPRISE 6

[. . . ] This page intentionally left blank SecurityNotice Deep Freeze does not protect against booting from a floppy drive or CD-ROM drive. The CMOS should be configured to prevent booting from the floppy drive or CD-ROM drive (i. e. set to boot to the hard drive) and the CMOS must be password protected. This is a normal precaution for most public access computers. [. . . ] 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 Enterprise Version 5 or later · the ThawSpace is on a Windows 95/98/Me workstation AttendedInstallorUninstall To install or uninstall Deep Freeze, complete the following steps: 1.

[. . . ] The network usage is quite high and may be preventing packets from getting through to the console. The clients send a packet to the console every 30 seconds. The console also broadcasts to the clients to let them know it is listening. If a packet does not get through, the client is not reported to the console. Using a Server Service helps resolve these types of issues. 7. [. . . ]
