And that's why there are choices. I could achieve the same with Citrix... but that's another expense, learning and such. Not saying it's good or bad, just that what we are using works well for us, so no plans to change at the moment.

I have to admit I'm not a fan of the DeepFreeze/SteadyState approaches - some threats don't need to be persistent beyond a reboot to wreak havoc. I'm more inclined towards good GPOs and app management coupled with maybe PVS and StrataApps.

Here's one example. Student comes in and sets the desktop wallpaper to his favorite pinup gal. Next student doesn't like it, but is a beginner and doesn't know how to change it to something else. Reboot and the pin up gal is gone. Also, I've seen some programs/apps that can now be installed without admin rights, Google Chrome for example. Not a problem with Deep Freeze. I'm sure there are other ways to do this, but DeepFreeze works great in our environment.

It makes the overall lifecycle maintenance of a desktop environment a heck of a lot more complicated. The question I always pose (and usually don't get much of a response to), is "what problems/issues is DeepFreeze protecting you from that running as a local user wouldn't solve?"

From: Bambi J Saastad [mailto:bambi.j.saas...@seagate.com] Sent: Friday, January 04, 2013 11:36 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Replacement for SteadyState Hello I was wondering if any of you could suggest a replacement for SteadyState. I have a roomful of pc's that the factory users use for browsing etc that I am replacing with Windows 7 Pro that need to be locked down. Can anyone suggest a product that does the same thing, wipe out any changes on reboot?
