Configuration File Parameters

The following table explains the parameters in the Configuration File:

•	Do not modify the column headings. Modifying the headings will lead to Deep Freeze ignoring the particular cell values. The default values in the Deep Freeze Enterprise Configuration Administrator will be used.

•	For parameters with multiple entries, add multiple columns. For example, Passwords, ThawSpaces etc., can have multiple columns like Password1Enable, Password2Enable, ThawSpace1Drive, ThawSpace2Drive.

•

Leaving the entry blank or deleting an entire column will use the default value in the Deep Freeze Enterprise Configuration Administrator. If the mandatory fields have no values, or if the columns representing the mandatory fields are deleted, the Deep Freeze Installation or Deep Freeze Configuration files will not be generated. An error message will be generated and stored in the log file. Click the Review log file for failed configurations link in the Configuration Generator to view the error log.

•	Do not use a comma (,) for the name of the parameter or value.

•	Parameter names and values are not case sensitive.

•	Fields that require date will use the format yyyy/mm/dd.

•	Fields that require time will use the format hh:mm:ss (24-hour clock).
