The challenge with Steady State is that I cannot manage it from
one location like we can with our current product. This is a critical feature
as we have almost 300 public facing machines. I don’t want to have to
touch 300 machines in order to make an exception. ;-) Thanks though! :)

You may also want to look at Microsoft SteadyState. Similar to
Deepfreeze but free.

We use deep freeze with library online and trend micro. It
works fine in that setup. If any problems or virus warnings come up staff can
just restart the machine and it'll be like nothing has happened.
The only real issue is scheduling updates to be done as the
machines are frozen. This includes windows updates or any software installed
including trend. There is a scheduler to setup update times. It is a good
product. They will to unifying their management console eventually so I'm told
so you can admin all their software from one panel.

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,
