[K12OSN] Deepfreeze

[Jason]

Hi Lonnie,

I've used Deep Freeze for a few years now.  I have not found a way to 
allow updates on a frozen drive. I don't think it's possible. In the 
past I have installed antivirus software on another partition and left 
it thawed to allow updates.

You can have the login script unthaw a machine which will force it to 
reboot.  The next time the login script is ran it will freeze the 
machine.  You can run updates inbetween but it would be a pain.

DF has helped save time and effort in re-cloning machines.  Someone 
makes a change you just need to reboot.
