It can run stand alone or server based. We have over 200 public workstations so we use the server based version. Besides locking and unlocking the workstations like DF, it has the ability to run schedules to start the workstations, shut them down, run plug in updates, Windows updates or custom scripts. This is the sequence for a typical Flash player update: We start the workstations 1 location at a time, unprotect them, reboot to unprotect, update Flash player via script (for all 3 browsers we use), enable protection, reboot. Workstation is ready to use. We usually can update Flash Player system wide in about an hour and a half which as you know, seems like it needs to be done every other week. FWIW, it’s a great utility.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Jim George<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Information Services Manager<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Clermont County Public Library<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>2548 US Route 50<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Owensville, Ohio 45160<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>(513) 735-7152<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>http://clermontlibrary.org<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><img width=161 height=48 id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.gif@01D0DF45.B8BF32E0" alt="logo with web address"><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:windowtext'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:windowtext'> Bob Neeper [mailto:neeperro@gmail.com] <br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, August 25, 2015 1:08 PM<br><b>To:</b> Tyson Horton; oplintech@lists.oplin.org<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [OPLINTECH] Deepfreeze help/advice<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We have used DF since 2000 on 12 PC's, sometimes more.<br>When they were Windows 2000 we had the console to just turn them off to do manual updates.<br>Adobe, OpenOffice, Java, Windows, Antivirus, etc<br><br>The Windows 7 versions did not use their console.<br>I do (or did) 4 at a time for round robin manual updates.<br>I don't do Windows updates though.<br>These PC's wide open for patron use, or abuse.<br><br>Windows 8 is a different story.<br>Chad (Level9 Networks) may expound on that.<br><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><pre>R.

When I took over as Systems Administrator, my predecessor had left abruptly, leaving me to figure everything out. My first job was to get our computer upgrade rolling. I was not familiar with Deep-freeze coming into the job, so I'm not sure the ins and outs of it and how to go about setting it up on our new computers. I have been looking online and am wondering if their cloud based system is the way to go. I'm also looking for any advise any of you out there might have, especially any of you techies out there close to us that wouldn't mind maybe visiting Bryan for some in house help. Any tips or advise would be greatly appreciated. Our previous set up was he had a management console set up on every computer locking it down, which was a pain for me to figure out what he had set up, and then also had Deep-freeze set up on each computer. I tried doing the same thing on these new computers(setting up a MMC console), but I'm not real fond of it and it takes forever to set up. I have yet to do anything with the deep-freeze though and would really like to get that going. I'm pretty sure the version of Deep-freeze he was running is pretty old, that's why I was looking at the Cloud based system. <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>-- <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Brush Script MT";color:blue'>Tyson Horton</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue'>Systems Administrator</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue'>Williams County Public Library</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue'>107 East High Street</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue'>Bryan, OH 43506</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue'>419-636-6734 (voice)</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue'>419-630-0408 (fax)</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:purple'><a href="http://www.mywcpl.org">www.mywcpl.org</a></span><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><br><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><pre>_______________________________________________<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>OPLINTECH mailing list<o:p></o:p></pre><pre><a href="mailto:OPLINTECH@lists.oplin.org">OPLINTECH@lists.oplin.org</a><o:p></o:p></pre><pre><a href="http://lists.oplin.org/mailman/listinfo/oplintech">http://lists.oplin.org/mailman/listinfo/oplintech</a><o:p></o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre></blockquote><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
