Re: Deepfreeze - Why not?

[Mark Monroe <markm196 () NETSCAPE NET>]

We have it on all of our lab and class computers.. about 1200 systems or 
so.. plus in some other areas where we have "shared" systems. Patching 
is done through thaw cycles when the labs and classes are closed in the 
middle of the night from the wsus server. Very handy when drive by java 
exploits go around or infected usb drives come on campus. Reboot and all 
is clean. You can thaw them at will from a central console too if you 
need to. Some times we do this if we have a special piece of software 
that needs to go on in the middle of the semester. Like tax prep 
software in March or something.
