 The name or IP address of VMware vCenter Server or ESX(i) Server whose virtual machines
Agent for ESX(i) (Windows) will back up. Specify the user name and password for logging on
to that server. If you do not want to specify the server, click I will specify the server later.

Specifying credentials for Acronis services
The Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Agent for Windows, Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Agent for
VMware vSphere ESX(i) (Windows), Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Management Server, and Acronis
Backup & Recovery 11 Storage Node components run as services. When installing any of these
components, you need to specify the account under which the component's service will run.
For each service, you can either create a dedicated user account (recommended in most cases) or
specify an existing account of a local or domain user—for example: .\LocalUser or
DomainName\DomainUser.
New accounts
If you choose to create dedicated user accounts for the services, the setup program will create the
following user accounts:
 For the service of Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Agent for Windows and Acronis Backup &
Recovery 11 Agent for VMware vSphere ESX(i) (Windows), Acronis Agent User
 For the service of Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Management Server, AMS User
 For the service of Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Storage Node, ASN User
The newly created accounts are given the following privileges:
 All three accounts are assigned the Log on as a service user right.
 The Acronis Agent User user account is assigned the Adjust memory quotas for a process,
Replace a process level token and Modify firmware environment values user rights.
 The Acronis Agent User and ASN User user accounts are included in the Backup Operators and
Administrators groups.
 The AMS User user account is included in the Acronis Centralized Admins group.
Existing accounts
The setup program will assign the above listed user rights to any existing account you specify for a
corresponding service.
If you choose to specify an existing user account for the agent service, make sure that this account is
a member of the Backup Operators group before proceeding with the installation. For advanced
editions, we recommend that the account be a member of the Administrators group. Otherwise, the
Microsoft Software Shadow Copy provider may fail to take snapshots during centralized backups.
