Yes, it appears to be a mixture of some schools having ALL computers
frozen, and some only using it on the student computers.  I think I know
what you're getting at...

Are there other machines on the same LAN with the Deep Freeze machines?

A bit off-topic, but most people on this list are very security
conscience,
so thought you guys could give a good input.

A lot of the school districts are using a program call Deep Freeze.  For
those of you unfamiliar with it, it basically "freezes" a copy of
Windows in
whatever state it is in when frozen.  Then, when the computer is
rebooted,
it restores everything to its frozen state, wiping out everything
changed
since last boot.

The part that bothers me is that these schools are under the impression
that
they have no need for updates or virus scanning programs because the
computer will be restored when rebooted anyways.

What is your take on this?  In "some" ways, they have a valid point...
