Workstation Tasks Tab
The Workstation Tasks tab allows you to schedule various tasks that run at the workstation. The
Workstation Tasks reside at the workstation and will run even if the workstations lose their
network connectivity or if they are unable to communicate with the Deep Freeze Console. The
Workstation Tasks are part of the Workstation Install File or Deep Freeze Configuration (.rdx)
file. The following Workstation Tasks are available:
•
Windows Update - schedule Windows updates. You can configure additional settings in the
Windows Update tab.

Restart - periodically restart workstations to bring them to the original configuration or erase
unwanted data.
•
Shutdown - shut down the workstations at a specified time every day to save power.
•

•
Batch File - run a batch file on the target workstation. You can configure additional settings in
the Batch File tab.
•
Thawed Period - reboot Thawed for a specified period to perform manual software installs,
automated software installs via third party tools or other permanent configuration changes.
