Deep Freeze and GSS
Updated: 21 May 2010 | 4 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
I have noticed that many people use Faronics Deep Freeze, along with GSS, do you have to do a remote thaw of the pc's before you starting imaging.
I have noticed that if you use the virtual partition method and have deep freeze on the pc's you are trying to image it never boots to the virtual partition so that imaging can begin, it just boots back into the os.
Has anyone else that uses Deep Freeze and GSS have a better solution then thawing all the pc's first?

We have both, the only solution is to thaw the machines first then image them. I talked to Faronics about it and they said the same thing. We either thaw them with the Enterprise console or send a ghost task to thaw them through the command line.
Yes this is what I do presently, I was hoping there is a better more elegant solution. I guess not.
Thank you for the reply.
When I thaw the machines and send a package using the console, it doesn't seem to work, but if I remove Deep Freeze , send the package and then reinstall Deep Freeze this seems to work. Any Thoughts????

Transfer the Dfc.exe that comes with Deep Freeze to C:\WINDOWS
then execute the thaw command using the DFC.EXE with your deep freeze password /BOOTTHAWED
so make a deep freeze thaw task in Ghost console.
Dfc.exe mypassword /BOOTTHAWED
check the deep freeze docs for the current syntax as I do not have them in front of me at the moment, but this method does work.
