The samerecommendation 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 messagesduring installation).

The default file name for this program is DFWksSeed.exe.All files are saved to Deep Freeze Enterprise/Install Programs folder by default.

Creating Workstation Install Program and Workstation Seed| 53It is recommended to restrict the use of the Configuration Administrator in largerenvironments for security reasons. This can be done by password protecting theDeep Freeze Administrator or alternatively, making it unavailable by removingthe DFadmin.exe file from the c:\program files\faronics\Deep Freeze 7Enterprise folder. This file can be moved to the Domain Administrator’sworkstation and deleted from the Common Deep Freeze Enterprise Console. Itcan be restored by copying it from another installation of the same version andauthorizing using the OTP password or by reinstallation or upgrade of DeepFreeze Enterprise using the same Customization Code.Deep Freeze Enterprise User Guide
