Deep Freeze Command Line Control (Dfc.exe) - FARONICS DEEP FREEZE ENTERPRISE 6 Manual

Deep Freeze Command Line Control (DFC.EXE)
The Deep Freeze Command Line Control (DFC) offers network administrators increased flexibility
in managing Deep Freeze workstations. DFC works in combination with third-party enterprise
management tools and/or central management solutions. This combination allows administrators to
update workstations on the fly and on demand.
It is important to note that DFC is not a stand-alone application. DFC integrates seamlessly with any
solution that can run script files, including standard run-once login scripts.
The DFC executable is not installed by default as part of the workstation install
package on client computers. The file must either be copied to the local computers
prior to the DFC commands being run or must be placed in a network share accessible
by the computer and run from that network share.
The DFC executable is installed in same directory as the Configuration Administrator:
C:\Program Files\Faronics\Deep Freeze 6 Enterprise\DFC.exe
DFC commands require a password with command line rights. OTPs cannot be used.
