After the agent is registered on the management server, the machine can be centrally managed by
management server administrators. Such machine is called a registered machine.
After the storage node is registered on the management server, registered machines can back up
data to and recover data from the storage node's centralized vaults.
To register the agent and/or the storage node during installation (recommended)
1. Click Register now.
2. Specify the name or IP address of the machine with the management server. That machine must
be online. It can be the local machine—for example, when the management server is among the
components you are installing.
3. Specify the user name and password of a user who is a member of the Acronis Centralized
Admins group on the management server's machine. If you are installing the management server
on the local machine, specify the user name and password of a member of the Administrators
group.
To skip registration
 Click I will register the machine later (or I will register the components later).
After the installation, you can register the components on the management server or remove them
from it, through the management server's interface.
Specifying users allowed to connect remotely
When installing an agent or the management server (or both), you need to specify the list of users
whom you want to allow to manage the machine remotely by using Acronis Backup & Recovery 11
Management Console.
By default, the list contains all members of the Administrators group on the machine; note that this
includes the domain administrators (if the machine is in an Active Directory domain).
The setup program creates the Acronis Remote Users group and adds the listed users to it. By adding
or removing group members, you will add or remove users who are allowed to connect to the
machine remotely.
2.1.2.3 Web-based installation
The procedure for Web-based installation is identical to that for interactive installation (p. 17).
Web-based installation is available only in advanced editions.
During a Web-based installation, only the components that you are currently installing are
downloaded from the Acronis Web site. You should keep this in mind if you are planning to install
components from this machine remotely (p. 24) at a later time. To make sure that all components
that can be installed remotely are present on the machine, consider using local installation instead.
When performing Web-based installation on a large number of machines, you may want to avoid
multiple downloads of the same component over the Internet. To do this:
1. In your local network, create a shared folder and make it available to all machines where you
want to install Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.
2. On the first of these machines, do the following:
a. Run the setup program for Web-based installation.
