Acronis acronis snap deploy 3 Manuel

 

                                                                                                                    

 

The administrator creates a script that performs pre-deployment operations, adds the script along with 

deployment script to the PE and includes both scripts in the 

startnet.cmd

 file. On booting into the PE, 

both operations will be performed automatically. 

 

4.  The administrator might need to execute imaging or deployment in Win PE environment if the 

Acronis environment lacks Linux drivers for some exotic hardware. 

 

 

Acronis Snap Deploy command line utility can generate a new SID but cannot adjust other 

settings on the fly. To change the computer name, domain or workgroup membership and 
other settings, apply the Microsoft System Preparation Tool (Sysprep) to the master system 

and specify the new settings in the Sysprep.inf answer file. 

 

 

The administrator might need to deploy on a computer isolated from a network or included in a 
network without Acronis Snap Deploy infrastructure. A dedicated bootable utility enables full functional 

deployment with GUI on a standalone computer.  

 

The Acronis Universal Deploy option is not available in the standalone mode. 

 

 

Acronis Snap Deploy can be configured in such a way that users will be able to deploy and re-deploy 

their computers with one click on the boot menu.  

 

 

1.  Software testers have to deploy clean operating systems or preconfigured systems on test 

machines. A test team leader creates custom bootable media or a PXE package that provides a 

fixed set of choices on the target side. A test team member reboots a test computer and 

selects what to deploy from the boot menu with one click. The deployment starts immediately. 

 

The choices can be various operating systems, various editions of the same operating system, 
the same operating system with various settings or various applications, to name a few. The 

deployment proceeds independently on each computer. 

 

2.  The same scenario fits in a university or school lab when switching between exercises requires 

reconfiguring the computer entirely. Students can switch or restart exercises without the 

teacher’s assistance. 

 

If a student messes up the machine (deletes a file, changes configuration, etc.) then he/she 

could choose a self-restore option from the boot menu.  

 

The custom deployment mode is intended for continual work without the administrator’s assistance. 
Once the mode is set, other methods of deployment (manual, scheduled, event-driven deployment) 

become unavailable. Any scheduled task that has to start while the custom deployment mode is on, 

will not start. Only users (the ones on the target side) can initiate deployment. However, the 

administrator can view logs, create new deployment templates, change the custom deployment 

configuration (add, edit or remove boot menu items) and perform other management operations 

except for deployment. 
 

To initiate deployment on the console side, the administrator switches off the custom deployment 

mode.
