Acronis OS Deploy Server is a component that performs centralized deployment through the 

network with the help of Acronis Snap Deploy Agents. 
 

Before installing Acronis OS Deploy Server, you need to install the Acronis License Server and import 

license numbers to it (for more information see the previous section). 

 

To install Acronis OS Deploy Server: 

1.  Run the Acronis Snap Deploy setup program 
2.  Click Install Acronis OS Deploy Server  

3.  Follow the Install Wizard instructions on the screen.  

4.  Reboot on prompt. 

 

The wizard will ask you for Acronis License Server. Browse to the server, or enter its name or IP 

address, or let the server be found automatically on the network. This will not decrease the number of 
deployment licenses. The program just checks the availability of the licenses and stores the specified 

Acronis License Server parameters to be able to access the Acronis License Server later, when the 

deployment is launched. 

 

 

 

Acronis PXE Server allows the network booting of the Acronis Snap Deploy Agent, Acronis Master 

Image Creator or Preinstallation Environment on target computers. Using Acronis PXE Server 

considerably reduces the time required for booting the computers as compared to using bootable 

media. It also eliminates the need to have a technician onsite to install the bootable media into the 
system that must be booted. This allows for unattended scheduled deployment. 

 

Using Acronis PXE Server makes sense if there is a Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server in 

your network, so that the booting computers can automatically get IP addresses. Without DHCP, you 

can boot computers from PXE, but have to configure their network settings manually. 

 
We recommend that you have only one PXE server within a subnet to ensure predictability of the 

booting computers behavior.
