Enforcing Social Distancing in Labs with Deep Freeze
The solution that our customers were looking for was the ability to keep the computers Frozen (protected), while at the same time, enforcing the locking of the keyboard and mouse. Not only does this prevent users from physically using these computers but it also allows remote users to remote into these computers from home!
Since Deep Freeze does not (yet) have a Frozen Locked action from either the Enterprise Console or the Deep Freeze Cloud Console, we wrote a script for customers that will lock the keyboard and mouse once it restarts Frozen. There is a one-minute delay added just in case physical access is needed to Thaw the computer (you can always do so from the console). The locked computer would also display a message on the screen: “This computer is unavailable. The keyboard and mouse are disabled.”
