Some software and commands can be sent from Deep Freeze to run on multiple computers at once. This can help to make changes to the student computers in the SmartLab more efficiently, but only works with specific file types. 

Using Push and Launch with a .msi Install File:

To run a .msi installer on multiple student workstations at once, you can use “Push and Launch” in the Deep Freeze Console. First, select all computers you want to run the installer on. Then right click on any of the selected computers and select “Push and Launch.”

Any computers on which you are installing software will need to be thawed prior to the install. 

Use Push and Launch on Deep Freeze with an MSI installer on all selected computers that are thawed.

Check to verify that the application installed correctly.

If you still don't see it installed, try restarting the computer(s) and see if it shows up then.

Using Push and Launch with PowerShell Scripts (Advanced):

You may need to modify your Powershell script to include at the beginning of it to automatically run elevated or Bypass script restrictions (See example below)

# Elevate to Administrator if not already
if (-not ([Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal] [Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()).IsInRole(`
  [Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole]::Administrator)) {
  Write-Output "Script is not running as Administrator. Attempting to restart with elevated privileges..."
  Start-Process powershell "-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File `"$PSCommandPath`"" -Verb RunAs
  exit
}
