Update Mode

Update Mode can be used to automatically create updated versions of existing files of Deep Freeze Enterprise by executing a special Update command. This command completes two tasks:

•	Updates previous versions of the Deep Freeze Enterprise Console and the Deep Freeze Enterprise Configuration Administrator. (Found in Faronics > Deep Freeze Enterprise.)

•	Updates any user created files stored in the Faronics > Deep Freeze Enterprise > Install Programs folder.

The benefit of these updates is that a number of files can be updated to the latest version while retaining their configuration data (created with an older version of Deep Freeze Enterprise).

The command automatically updates files created by an administrator (.exe, .rdx) that are present in the Faronics > Deep Freeze Enterprise > Install Programs directory, including the following sub-directories:

•	Workstation install files

•	Workstation Seed files

In the example below, the district office has received a new version of Deep Freeze Enterprise Configuration Administrator and can automatically update any existing Deep Freeze Workstation Install files and Workstation Seeds at a remote location.

The update command does not require a password, but does require a Customization Code. Use the following command syntax:

\PathToFile\DFEnt.exe /update=”Customization Code” c:\dfupdate.log

•	PathToFile must be replaced with the actual path to the installation file (DFEnt.exe)

•	DFEnt.exe must be the actual name of the installation file (it may differ if it was downloaded)

•	Customization Code must be in quotes if there is a space in it

•	Customization Code must match the old installation files’ Customization Code

The log file provides full details of exactly which files were updated.

The update process may take a few minutes to complete.

Update Mode does not update the existing version of Deep Freeze on computers. Computers must be updated using the Enterprise Console.
