Note: Ensure you have the appropriate licenses and a maintenance policy for patching and updates during thawed periods."
Deep Freeze Enterprise 8.60.220.5582 (released October 2019) is a significant update to Faronics' "reboot-to-restore" solution. It is designed to preserve a computer's desired configuration by discarding any changes made during a user session upon restart. Key Features in Version 8.60
Deep Freeze protects the system by maintaining a frozen state that can be thawed temporarily for updates, software installations, or configuration changes. Upon reboot, the system returns to its frozen state, ensuring that no unauthorized or permanent changes are made.
Administrators can now right-click on any scheduled task in the Enterprise Console to pause or resume it, offering greater flexibility in managing maintenance windows without deleting and re-creating tasks.
But in this case, it seemed that the software had been misconfigured, causing the computer to revert to a previous state unexpectedly. The IT team quickly realized that they needed to resolve the issue before it caused more problems.
Libraries, school computer labs, and internet cafes experience rapid configuration drift. Deep Freeze ensures every user begins with a clean, fully functional workstation. The Enterprise Console allows scheduled reboots and maintenance tasks without manual intervention.
