This means that even after updating the client machine through Deep Freeze that some updates may still be shown as pending when checking the status of the updates through the Control Panel or the Settings application. When Deep Freeze is configured to install through the Windows Update web service only updates categorized as Critical Updates and Security Updates are installed. This same general process is used when performing updates through a scheduled task on the client machine, or if a task is executed on demand to run the updates on the client systems. The update process can take between 15min to 6 hours depending on configuration and the size of the updates being installed on the client machine with the system returning to a frozen (protected) state when the update process is completed. Any problems with the update process that would result in failed updates are error handled and rolled back with the appropriate information retained in the Windows Update logs on the client machines.ĭuring this process the machine will perform a number of reboots, up to a total of 5, to complete the update process. When Deep Freeze is controlling the update process the general flow of operations is as shown below ĭuring the update process Deep Freeze interfaces with the Windows Update Service on the client machine to ensure that updates are installed and that all appropriate steps are taken to ensure that the updates are fully installed before the system returns to a protected state.
This is best done by scheduling a specific time period where the client systems will enter into a thawed (non protected) state on an automatic basis, perform the required updates, and then return to a Frozen (protected) state when the process is completed. Owing to the nature of what Deep Freeze does to machines that are protected updates must be installed on the client machine while Deep Freeze is disabled. This document will provide details on how Deep Freeze Enterprise interacts with the Windows Update service and will provide suggestions on how best to configure the product to control the update process on client machines protected by Deep Freeze.
