We have the same set up: using a domain and SAM (and some group
policies), but I never saw the benefit of using an antivirus when you are using
a product like Deep Freeze. I looked at it as a way for less licensing for our
AV (we use Trend Micro also), plus public PCs usually just pick up
spyware/malware from the web and a product that wipes them out upon reboot like
Deep Freeze or SteadyState is such a necessity. I have nothing but praise for
DF and we are still using the standard edition that is many years old. I would
like to upgrade to be able to administer it from a console, but that has always
been a low priority.

Subject: [LIBNT-L] Deep Freeze
Good
morning LibNT! ;-) I am curious about your stories (good and bad) about using
Deep Freeze in your environment. Especially if you have your public machines on
a domain and use any sort of PC access management system (We are using SAM.) We
are currently running XP and using Trend Micro as our Anti-virus.
We
seem to be running into walls using our current solution and we’re not
getting the response we would like from the vendor.
Any and all stories (again, good, bad and ugly) would be
appreciated. ;-) Thanks much!
Thanks,
Gretchen Garcia
