Playing with Faronics Deep Freeze pt 2

Well, here’s another piece of info about Deep Freeze that might be helpful to scripters out there:

The registry contains the current status and version of Deep Freeze.  It’s located at:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Faronics\Deep Freeze 6\DF Status

This is a string value that can be one of the following: Thawed, Frozen, Maintenance Mode, Thawed Locked, or Seed.  It’s possible that Frozen Locked is also a valid state, but I haven’t seen that one personally.

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Faronics\Deep Freeze 6\Version

This is obviously a string value that represents the version.

As far as I know, this only works on 6.3 or later Deep Freeze.  My experience is only with the enterprise editon, but I think this should work any edition.
