Re: Deepfreeze - Why not?

Hi All:

This being the security forum I wouldn't say it would be crazy not to install DeepFreeze - I would agree that 
discussions about it should take place but keep in mind that if someone uses one of those systems to commit a crime or 
commit activity that is short of criminal but that the University would still want to determine who the culprit was 
DeepFreeze makes that discovery much more difficult if not impossible.

In labs...?  It'd be crazy not to install DeepFreeze.  Aside from the obvious risks of not, there are many 
cost-efficiencies as a result of using the tool.

Hi All,

We have some folks who'd like to see Deepfreeze installed on all lab PCs, but the IT department is balking. What do 
people think is the best reason to not install deepfreeze? Is there one?

Thanks,

Dan
