Re: deep freeze needs alittle thawing

["Knights, John" <knightsj () WIT EDU>]

We researched this at my previous institution. If you use the admin server console for Deepfreeze, you can actually set 
up a scheduled time each night or each week to thaw each system for a period of time to allow them to receive and 
install updates and then freeze them again.

I believe Deep Freeze has the feature where you can have it thaw and do the updates and the freeze itself again.

Our PC services area is utilizing the Faronics Deep Freeze software laptops.  The version they are utilizing is 
7.70.220.4460.  The problem I am looking for assistance with is this:

They deep freeze the computer, however due to the deep freeze windows updates are not applied nor is the antivirus 
software updated.  This creates issues with our NAC, as NAC requires the pcs to be up-to-date on both windows updates 
and antivirus.

Is anyone else utilizing this a software, if so can you tell me how you got around this issue?
