52| Using Deep Freeze Configuration Administrator Creating Workstation Install Program and Workstation Seed Deep Freeze Enterprise User Guide To create customized Deep Freeze installation program files with all of the options that were configured in the previous sections, click the Create button in the Configuration Administrator toolbar and select Create Workstation Install Program. The default file name for this program is DFWks.exe. We recommend that you keep the default name, but in larger deployments you may want to suffix it with information related to it's configuration such as: DFwks_10gbThawSpace.exe or DFWks_NoMaintenance.exe or DFwks_Wed-5pmUpdates.exe to assist in organization and identification of the installer functions. The same recommendation applies for Deep Freeze Configuration files (.rdx) as well. This file can then be used to install Deep Freeze on computers using: • Attended Install (install based on user input) • Silent Install system — install that does not inform user of progress or provide messages during installation). For more information on the Silent Install command, refer to Silent Install or Uninstall, page 85. • Target Install — Through the Deep Freeze Enterprise Console for workstations that already contain a Seed or previous version of Deep Freeze that has been created with the same Customization Code. To create a Workstation Seed, click the Create button in the Configuration Administrator toolbar and select Create Workstation Seed. The Workstation Seed is a lightweight program that allows administrators to remotely install and control computers from the Enterprise Console. The Workstation Seed can be installed as part of a master image and then deployed via imaging software. All computers on the LAN with the Workstation Seed installed are displayed in the Enterprise Console. The default file name for this program is DFWksSeed.exe. All files are saved to Deep Freeze Enterprise/Install Programs folder by default. A different location can be chosen and the file name can be changed if required. It is recommended that a naming convention is used if you are creating multiple customized installation files. DFwks.exe, DFwksseed.exe, and depfrz.rdx files can be created and deployed interchangeably to any Deep Freeze computer that uses the same Customization Code. The Deep Freeze Seed can be used as a template/place holder to ensure your basic elements such as passwords, Network Configuration or standardized workstation tasks are all consistent. The seed will not utilize any of the configuration settings but will hold them in the file. To use the file as a template simply open the DFwksseed.exe file using the Configuration Adminstrator and make any required changes. Then, to create workstation installation click Create> Create Workstation Installation File.
Creating Workstation Install Program and Workstation Seed| 53 It is recommended to restrict the use of the Configuration Administrator in larger environments for security reasons. This can be done by password protecting the Deep Freeze Administrator or alternatively, making it unavailable by removing the DFadmin.exe file from the c:\program files\faronics\Deep Freeze 7 Enterprise folder. This file can be moved to the Domain Administrator’s workstation and deleted from the Common Deep Freeze Enterprise Console. It can be restored by copying it from another installation of the same version and authorizing using the OTP password or by reinstallation or upgrade of Deep Freeze Enterprise using the same Customization Code.
