WINSelect Service

WINSelect Service empowers administrators with full control over its abilities. Windows operating system features, Start menu functionality, Internet Explorer capabilities, and Windows Explorer options can all be heavily customized to suit organizational needs.

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.

Program Requirements

Supported programs:

  • Microsoft Office 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2013

  • Internet Explorer 10 and above

  • Mozilla Firefox (up to version 62.0)

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

Selecting Enable (install and inherit settings from Faronics Default policy) or Enable (Install and use below settings) installs WINSelect 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.
