Locking down computers prevents user mischief and defends against malware. Can place severe restrictions on the users technological environment. Does not maintain uniform configurations across labs or multi-user networks.
Reactionary Approach
If labs are not locked down, the IT staff is most likely using a reactionary approach to maintain security.
Dealing with computers on an individual basis Using re-imaging or rebuilding as a method of keeping computers uniform and protected. The problems with this approach are many, given the amount of time it takes for the rebuilding process, and the correlating downtime of the machine. This approach only deals with temporary symptoms of a problem, rather than addressing the cause.

In education, a typical ratio of IT support staff to computers is often 1:500 As a result, IT staff would prefer to lock down the machines to prevent users from damaging the machines so they dont have to spend all their time rebuilding them. This means the IT staff can have more control over classroom policy than teachers do, because the IT staff does not want or does not have time to be constantly rebuilding workstations.

More issues
IT staff spend the majority of their time re-imaging and rebuilding machines to keep them up and running often on a daily or weekly basis. No time to make improvements to labs or work to troubleshoot and fix real issues. This results in technological demand outpacing support and help desk calls escalate beyond control. Did you ever think? Where will the next generation of programmers, IT staff, and computer scientists come from if current students are all locked out of various functions?

Deep Freeze
14
Libraries and are among the most difficult public access environments to manage, and Deep Freeze allows IT professionals and reference staff to easily protect and preserve their workstations. Users enjoy an unrestricted environment to work in, while avoiding the frustration of downtime due to software conflicts, registry and operating system corruption, and lost network and Internet connections. Operating systems will not fragment or corrupt over time, as they would with policy based tools designed to restrict functionality.

Guarantees that expensive computer assets are kept running at 100%. It ensures uptime and productivity while drastically reducing support costs. There is no need to run cleaning tools to rid systems of viruses or spyware Deletes all malware on restart. Provides a complete security solution for multiple environments. It offers business resiliency because workstations are back up and running with a quick restart; even enterprise back-up systems dont offer that kind of resiliency in the face of malicious attack or system volume corruption.

Fewer support calls means increased productivity Fewer system problems and less downtime System stability means fewer IT support staff are required. Deep Freeze is a 100% effective security tool that removes any spyware, adware, keyloggers, or other information theft software from systems after each reboot. Fully compatible with your existing systems (applications, network utilities, etc.) Intel-Mac friendly and works with Apples Boot Camp

If you want to allow individual users to make permanent changes to a computer, you can create a Thawed partition. You can setup profiles to be saved locally on the Thawed partition. If you want roaming profiles, the profile data can be retained both on the server and on the Thawed partition. Make changes to your computers when you want to, not when you have to. You, not your users, make the choice when to apply system changes.

A simple solution to avoid OS corruption or unwanted changes. Open or controlled system - you decide. - Deep Freeze will protect either. Workstation-based - no excessive use of network bandwidth (as with re-imaging or server-based solutions.) No accidental or intentional admin-level tweaking without proper privileges.

Configure ThawSpaces
The common question: How do users save their work on a Frozen Mac?
ThawSpace allows data to be saved permanently across reboots on a Frozen system. ThawSpace can be user-based or global (accessible to all users.) ThawSpace size can be customized to your needs. Home folders cannot be mapped to a ThawSpace.

Bulletproof protection
Nobody has hacked my systems since I started using Deep Freeze Eliminated all issues with unsupervised computers and kids that would purposely trash the operating systems I would not purchase Antivirus software before I stopped my Deep Freeze maintenance contract Tech Support like I was their only customer. These guys come from the IT trenches with excellent documentation, technical white papers, and the development of free configuration tools.
