[OPLINTECH] GCPL: Win 7 public computers and Deep Freeze

[Adam Murphy]

1. I used local policies (if you would like a list I could put one 
together). I installed the Deep Freeze seed before making an image with 
Clonezilla. So after imaging a PC it shows up in the Deep Freeze console 
and I install DF from there.

2. I setup a rule on the firewall (IPCop) to allow the wifi network to 
communicate with the server that has the DF Console. Then on the laptops 
you have to change the DF network settings to use WAN and then enter the 
DF Console's IP address. OR create a separate DF install file just for 
laptops that has the WAN info.

3. Yes I have it setup here. I use PCRes version 3.4.5.7794 (I plan on 
upgrading this year). On the PCRes Management Console click the 
Preferences button or Configure->System Options. Click the Sessions tab 
and check both "Logoff when session is closed" and "Restart when session 
is closed". When creating the DF install file, under Advanced Options 
check the box "Restart on Logoff". The reason I enabled that setting in 
DF is Patrons would sometimes click Start->Logoff instead of the Done 
button.

Since I am using an older version of PCRes I had to change the 
permissions on the Envisionware folder (Program Files) in order for it 
to work on Win 7. I gave Admins Full Control and enabled Write for Users.
