Updating Deep Freeze Server Enterprise (Server Edition)

If you are using an older version of Deep Freeze Server Enterprise (for example, 6.3), you must uninstall 

the older version before installing the newer version. 

Uninstall the older version from 

Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs

 and install 

the  new  version  using 

DFEntServ.exe

  if  you  do  not  want  to  preserve  the  settings  (Ports, 

Scheduled Tasks and Groups). 

Use the Update Script provided by Faronics to retain the settings (Ports, Scheduled Tasks and 

Groups) and install the new version manually.

Installing  Deep  Freeze  Server  Enterprise  6.62  on  a  computer  that  has  Deep  Freeze 

Server Enterprise 6.3 does not update the computer with the new version. Installing 

Deep Freeze Server Enterprise 6.62 over Deep Freeze Server Enterprise 6.3 will result 

in  two  versions  on  the  same  computer.  To  update  Deep  Freeze  Server  Enterprise, 

uninstall Deep Freeze Server Enterprise 6.3 and install Deep Freeze Server Enterprise 

6.62. Alternatively, you can run the script provided by Faronics and install Deep Freeze 

Sever Enterprise 6.62 to preserve settings for Ports, Scheduled Tasks and Groups.

Deep  Freeze  Server  Enterprise  Console  and  Deep  Freeze  Server  Configuration 

Administrator can be upgraded to a newer version by running the installer for the 

newer version. However, this feature is applicable only if you are currently using Deep 

Freeze Server Enterprise 6.62 or higher. 

Once Deep Freeze Server Enterprise has been updated on the console computer, you can update the 

workstations in one of the following ways:

1. 

From the Deep Freeze Server Enterprise Console. For more information, refer to 

Remotely 

Updating Installed Workstations

2. 

Manually  on  the  workstation  by  creating  a  Workstation  Install  Program  and  installing 

on each workstation. For more information, refer to 

Updating Deep Freeze Locally on a 

Workstation
