Returnil/Deepfreeze

Hi Guys,

These two seem very similar.

Is there a work around for Returnil, where some update or app requires a reboot? Does DeepFreeze have that issue also?

Thanks & Take Care

Hi Peter,

So patch Tuesdays you can shut down Returnil get the M$ patch (requiring reboot) reboot, turn Returnil back on, and be patched?

Well, sort of, under some circumstances.

You really have to consider the implementation specifics and the two target markets, which are different. Some aspects are similar, some very different. Most of this information can be gleaned from the respective websites.

Hello Rico,
Yes, and you can do it automatically in 1.70 using the scheduler. The key is to schedue turning the RVS Protection off at a time when you have AU scheduled to download and apply the updates. If you are updating within a network, you would schedule the protection to be off when you are rolling them out.

All ISR-softwares require at least one reboot.
DeepFreeze requires even more reboots, because there is no option to get from THAWED to FROZEN mode without reboot.

Only FDISR offers a decent solution for app that require a reboot.
All the rest is :
1. Reboot in thawed mode.
2. Install the software + Reboot.
3. Uninstall the software, if you don't like it.
4. Reboot in frozen mode.
That's one of the reasons, why I keep on using FDISR.

FDISR is still the king in POSSIBILITIES.
The rest is king in speed and less space and that's what users like the most, that's something what they can see and feel.
Who cares about usefullness that requires too much thinking.
