[WEB4LIB] RE: Question on log file(s) for Deep Freeze users

[Edward Spodick]

Well, I was envisioning having a log of success and failure - for example if we have 50 or so PCs which we leave on overnight to unfreeze/thaw at 3am and run their windows updates, or perform some other admin action, it would be handy to be able to check a log file to see whether any of them failed to respond, perhaps by being off.

But maybe I am fundamentally misunderstanding something in the way DF is used.
