Deep Freeze Service

Deep Freeze Service helps eliminate computer damage and downtime by making computer configurations indestructible. Once Deep Freeze is installed on a computer, any changes made to the computer—regardless of whether they are accidental or malicious—are never permanent.

To enable communication between the computer and Deep Freeze Cloud Services through the firewall, ensure that outbound traffic is permitted on specified ports, and access is allowed on certain domains and IP addresses on both the console and client computer. Refer to Authorized Domains and Ports.

If you are using the Deep Freeze Enterprise Console, the Deep Freeze Service will be unavailable within the Policy when you log on to Deep Freeze Cloud.

To add Deep Freeze to the Policy, go to Add Policy > Deep Freeze Windows > select Enable (install and inherit settings from Faronics Default policy) or Enable (Install and use below settings). Selecting this option installs Deep Freeze on all computers using this Policy.

Selecting Enable (install and inherit settings from Faronics Default policy) or Enable (Install and use below settings) installs Deep Freeze on the computers whenever the computers check-in. The computers check-in based on the heartbeat specified in Cloud Agent Settings.

• Enable (install and inherit settings from Faronics Default policy) – installs the service and inherits settings from the Faronics Default policy. Selecting this option saves time in configuring all the policy settings. Selecting this option makes the settings for the current policy read-only.

• Enable (Install and use below settings) – installs the service and uses custom settings. Selecting this option will allow you to customize the settings for this service in the current policy.

• Disable will not install the service or will uninstall the service from the computers whenever the computers check-in.
