Deep Freeze Action Files - RDC Example
Deep Freeze Action Files
A Deep Freeze Action File is an XML file that allows administrators to define additional
functionality into the Deep Freeze Enterprise Console. An Action File defines a method for calling
an external batch file and passing some information (for example, machine IP addresses,
computer names) to the batch file or script.
Action Files simply call an external program or script. Therefore, any scripting language that can
be called from the command line can be used.
Action File Example
The structure of the Deep Freeze Action file that we will be using is shown below. The
DFEntConsoleCustomActions.xml is available at C:\Program Files\Faronics\Deep Freeze 7
Enterprise. The file can be edited to add additional actions like the one explained below:
In the above example, the custom action file contains the command for running Remote Desktop
on the Console computer and connect the remote computer specified in the parameter
%%WKSNAME%%.
The DFEntConsoleCustomActions.xml file contains 3 samples:
•
Control with RDC
•
Remote Execution

You can edit the The DFEntConsoleCustomActions.xml file as per your needs.
