We use Deep Freeze too. We do not really see long boot times or login times. Our systems get the AV updates each night during their thaw cycles. We thaw them each night and they get MS patches, AV, and anything else that we are pushing out that is new. It is all automated, they reboot thawed, Stay that way for a hour or two, re-freeze and shut down. They power on in the morning by a bios setting. We have about 1200 systems that do this every night.

We use deepfreeze here. I also use Group policy. Our boot times are not bad. Our login times are longer than I would like. Our login times can be linked to the use of Adobe Creative suite. It adds a ton of junk to the default profile. I would be happy to chat off list if you would like. -Charlie ========================================== Charles Bombard, GSEC LAN/Systems Administrator Community College of Vermont 119 Pearl Street Burlington, VT 05401 802.657.4234 bombardc () ccv edu <mailto:bombardc () ccv edu> PRIVACY & CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This message is for the designated recipient only and may contain privileged, confidential, or otherwise private information.

One of our issues is that Symantec Virus Definitions are updated every time a computer is booted and that takes a lot of time. Are there other alternatives that you all are using? *Daniel R.
