Deep Freeze Game

[Lina Drury]

Ithawed" my machine last night and performed a Windows Update. The update is having issues (it gets stuck at 32%, fails, and restarts my machine). When it reboots it attempts it again, and again, and again, etc. (Endless loop).

When I run Safe Mode, Safe Mode w/ Network, or Safe Mode w/ Command Prompt it attempts to revert the Windows Update changes. However, the problem is with Deep Freeze on (and now in "Frozen" mode) the reverted changes don't stay, and I'm back into the loop of death. Oh, and side note: "Safe Mode w/ Command Prompt" does not actually take me to a command prompt window? Perhaps because it is attempting to complete the Windows Update changes first?

Is there a way to disable Deep Freeze from loading? When I selected "Safe Mode w/ Command Prompt" I noticed that it loads the DpFrz.sys file. I know that when I'm in the Windows Boot Manager if I press F10 instead of F8 (while highlighting Windows 7) it takes me to an "Edit Boot Options" screen:

Update: I found my Windows 7 Media Disk and it did not help out. The laptop had the "System Restore" as a partition on the HDD. I later received (in the mail) a Windows 7 Upgrade Disc from Sony to upgrade my system from Windows Vista to Windows 7 Ultimate. I placed the disc into the DVD drive and it does not come up as a "bootable" disc. I'm going to try to find an alternative disc to see if I can get into Command Prompt.

1a. Boot from the Windows 7 System Repair Disc and choose the repair option in the lower left hand corner, choose System Restore, and select a Restore Point predating the attempted installation of the updates.

1b. If you don't have the DVD and Vista/W7 came preinstalled on the machine, use F8 at the bios splash screen to get the Windows Advanced Screen, choose "Repair Your Computer" from the list, let Windows RE load then do a system restore.

exit recovery environment and restart the pc, you may get 3 of 3 again but be patient, the desktop should load. Create a restore point and Turn off Automatic updates until you can figure out which update caused the loop.

When the machine reboots enter the bios and set the date to at least sixty days in the future. This will disable deepfreeze and allow you to resolve the loop problem. Don't forget to set the clock back when you're finished.

This is the ONLY solution that worked for me as I couldn't get a command prompt through the F8 method. It DOES work on the paid version (not just the trial) but you have to set the date far enough ahead that it passes the expiration date - I set it to 2 years ahead. Thank you so much to the previous posters on this thread... I would have been in deep trouble without this fix!

"HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\BootExecute"See over BootExecute Key, the default value must be "autocheck autochk *"However, if you cant at least boot on Safe Mode you wont be able to test this.

I am looking into new AV solutions for the School Board I work for, and I have always been a fan of Eset's Nod32 AV and use it on my personal devices. The biggest issue we have with any of the AV solutions we have tried is that we need them to integrate with Faronics Deep Freeze. (hxxp://www.faronics.com/products/deep-freeze/enterprise/) Deep Freeze is a great product, but their AV is not. The issue is that Deep Freeze locks down the system drive, and after every reboot the system drive reverts to its original state, so any AV updates have to be re-downloaded after every reboot. What I am looking for is an AV solution that is centrally managed, and one where you can change where AV definitions are stored. Deep Freeze can create a hidden thaw space on the system drive that is not effected by Deep Freeze, this is how their own AV product handles updates. Any info appreciated.

I had heard that they currently don't have a working version for Mojave. I know they had trouble with AFPS. Article. In this statement they recommend removing deep freeze before upgrading because of issues related to AFPS.

As you can see if you call binary, you can also set password, uninstall, set thawspace and more. What does not seem to be included as of now is the scheduling part, but you can easily let JAMF do that for you by simply script it to unfreeze.

We are running into a similar issue here. New Deepfreeze on Mojave does not work the same way. We use ARD to globally freeze and thaw, but that is no longer an option. I have a ticket open with Faronics. Could anyone help with respect to scripting "boot thaw" and "boot frozen" ?

Just throwing this out there...can you get away from using Deepfreeze? When I took over Mac support I found Deepfreeze to be more trouble than it's worth(and we got it pretty cheap). I moved our DeepFreeze labs to being cleaned by a script on log out and the accounts were changed from being admin to standard users. More or less I feel it's much more in line with what Apple supports and it works well.

Even on the Windows side there were guys who swore up and down by Deepfreeze and due to issues with it there they started using scripts to do the same thing and are now questioning if it's worth the hassle to go back to it.

The "cannot communicate with Daemon" issue is not due to how the Program is packed, but how the client is receiving the package. I don't think JAMF is actually perfectly mirroring a normal install - In this case, it's just dropping the files, and not initializing the Daemon. The system is looking for a plist daemon for Deepfreeze that isn't running!

All we need to do to fix this is get launchd to see the daemon an initialize it. Since this happens on reboot, I just included a reboot postscript to run when the package installs (DF is the last step in my imaging workflow).

I have also been successful in deploying DeepFreeze to Mojave. Performed the install, started DF (without rebooting), enabled passwords, created user, set drive to freeze, set restart to thawed but again, did not reboot, and then created the package. In policy I just set it to reboot after install.

In both cases, the extreme cold either severely burned or obliterated all manner of citrus, palms, and tropical plants. While the northern reaches of the South are more used to such plummeting temperatures and snows, Deep South gardeners can sometimes be caught unprepared.

This fall, I took a cue from my Northeastern friends and had all of my pipes meticulously insulated. Just in case. And I also started doing more research about protecting sensitive plants in milder freezes and beyond, including asking a few experts for wisdom on the subject.

As the On Board Monitor is broken you can plug in an external Monitor tot he NB and use that to see what you are doing. You however may be required to use a Key Combination to switch screens depending on your Make & Model Note Book. ?

Of course, the defining accessory of Ice Planet is none other than the Transparent Orange Chainsaw! These were lightsabers before LEGO Star Wars were a thing, and till today, are unrivalled in their sheer coolness.

As a kid, it was easy to let my imagination run free, with the two cockpits split off to explore the icy terrain, the middle section playing the part of the satellite launcher, and the back half as a base of sorts for the astronauts to rest in.

Thanks for reading this Retro LEGO Review of 6973 Deep Freeze Defender! With this, I am officially launching my ICE PLANET 2022 campaign! Want an updated version of Deep Freeze Defender and a return to the glory days of Ice Planet? VOTE VOTE VOTE!

Well written. I totally agree with your thoughts on Ice Planet 2002 and the Deep freeze defender.

I have been tinkering with an idea since late last year for a 30-year anniversary edition of all the Ice Planet 2002 sets. slightly scaled up and modernized versions of the original models.

Thank you for the advice. Yeah, the Stud.io render does not do the Trans Neon orange canopies Justice. I will play around with different rendering formats to get the colours to look closer to the real thing. Thank you for your support.

i did the same thing and bought the set 20 years later as an adult! really enjoyed the review but I was hoping you would show how the entire ship can come apart in 4 pieces which can then be combined into two separate ships with their own cockpit!

I was just starting to come out of my childhood and into teenage years when this came out. I had moved beyond toys and Lego, had a job and was starting to go to parties. But I stopped and looked at this set in the store a couple of times and almost bought it.
