Deploy Deep Freeze with AD!
The Deep Freeze MSI Packager allows you to transform the Deep Freeze Workstation Install Program (DFWks.exe) executable file into a Windows Installer (.MSI) file format for deployment with Active Directory.
To use the Deep Freeze MSI Packager, follow the following steps:
- Create a Deep Freeze Workstation Install Program (also known as the Deep Freeze Client) using the Deep Freeze Configuration Administrator, or use an existing file.
- Once the Deep Freeze Workstation Install Program (also known as the Deep Freeze Client) has been generated, open the Deep Freeze MSI Converter and browse to the file location.
- Specify a name and a location for the MSI package to be created.
- Accept the EULA and click on Generate MSI file. This will save the Deep Freeze Workstation Install Program (also known as the Deep Freeze Client) to the location as specified in Step #3.
The generated MSI file can be used for installing Deep Freeze through the Windows Active Directory environment and through Silent Install (Command Line Interface).
NOTE: This generated MSI file CANNOT be used for uninstalling Deep Freeze from any of the workstations that have Deep Freeze installed.
