Implementing a Deepfreeze upgrade via Symantec-Ghost file operations instead of
• To upgrade from novell to AD I need to implement a deepfreeze maintenance thaw window, to allow updating of the domain machine password on the normally frozen client.
• If you have no other than built-in/FOSS means, you can probably achieve this with RunOnce, AutoAdminLogon, AutoAdminLogonCount, and reading out the client @computername DefaultDomainName with AutoIt. I rather try using Ghost:
• Put files on headless to be able to ghostcast them without access to fileshares
• ghosttask: df6 boot thawed (I need to unfreeze, w/o deepfreeze clients connected to deepfreeze server)
• ghosttask: df6 uninstall:
o ghostcast transfer deepfreeze 7 and 6 installer to c:\
o C:\df6wks.exe /uninstall
o Reboot
• Ghosttask: df7 install
o ghostcast transfer deepfreeze installer to c:\
o C:\dfwks7726.exe /install\
o reboot
o Should be safe to have the installer lie around: While Deepfreeze 6 uninstall does not require a password, it will be history; also, to permanently uninstall, you first need to unfreeze, which requires a password
• ghosttask: df7: boot thawed : Dfc.exe [installs into path] pwd /bootthawed
• ghosttask: winsockreset
o netsh winsock reset or cmd /c netsh winsock reset
• ghosttask:
o ghostcast transfer schliessnicht.exe into C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup to keep Sanako alive for oral exams (permanently, this should be enabled using this TBA:extension method to do advanced remote control of Sanako study1200 student clients; where is the delete option? can only think of overwriting with an empty file of the same file name)
• ghosttask: df7: boot frozen: Dfc.exe [installs into path] pwd /bootfrozen
• as long as I do not make changes to the default user and to user settings (like what app rm is associated with), I do not need to reimage – BUT: to run acrobat, flash, windows updates, without reimaging, instead of task, I would need to automate gui interaction after autoadminlogon as labadmn, which means
o ghosttask: ghostcast transfer 1 autoit that rewrites registry and reboots to autoadminlogon
o then startup autoit to automate gui interaction with nal?
