Using Deep Freeze Enterprise Console
Deep Freeze Enterprise Console
The Deep Freeze Enterprise Console displays the status of all Frozen, Thawed, and Target
computers on the network and allows the administrator to perform specific tasks on those
computers. Detailed status information is available with selective or group reporting.
The Enterprise Console allows administrators to remotely perform the following tasks:
• Immediately Target Install computers
• Selectively Freeze, Thaw, or Thaw Lock one or more computers
• Lock or Unlock selected computers
• Restart or shutdown computers
• Stop scheduled maintenance
• Power on computers equipped with a Wake-on-LAN network card
• Update Deep Freeze software
• Schedule tasks directly from the Console
• Send messages to computers
• Import groups and containers from Active Directory
• Generate One Time Passwords
• Schedule Actions
• Customize the Enterprise Console
• Update the License Key
The Enterprise Console can only wake a computer from a powered-down state if the computer is
properly configured to power on when a Wake-on-LAN packet is received.
Launching the Enterprise Console
The Enterprise Console is installed with the Deep Freeze Configuration Administrator. Open the
Console by selecting the following path from the Start menu:
Start > All Programs > Faronics > Deep Freeze 7 Enterprise > Deep Freeze Console
Activating the Enterprise Console
As a security feature of Deep Freeze Enterprise the OTP feature prevents unauthorized Deep
Freeze Enterprise Console use. When the DFConsole.exe file is copied to a new computer, the
Console must be activated. When it is run for the first time on the new computer, a dialog displays
with an OTP Token.
The network administrator enters this token in the Configuration Administrator’s OTP
Generation System. An OTP is generated. Enter it in the dialog and the Console will run.
The computer on which the Enterprise Console is installed must not have an installation of the
Workstation Seed (using the same port) or a full Deep Freeze installation.
