Once the installation starts, the program displays the operation progress and the name of the

machine on which the components are being installed.

Update

To update one or more components on a remote machine, repeat the installation procedure.

Upgrade to a full version

To upgrade one or more components from a trial to a full version, specify the full license keys for

these components (for example, by importing them to the license server), and then repeat the

installation procedure. To upgrade from a trial version to a version for online backup only, repeat the

installation procedure without specifying license keys.

Specifying the list of machines

When adding multiple machines to the management server or when performing remote installation,

specify the list of machines. This can be done by:

 Typing machine names or IP addresses: click By IP/Name. Provide the administrator's user name

and password for each machine.

 Browsing the network: click From network. When browsing the network, you can select

individual machines, as well as entire workgroups or domains. Provide the administrator's user

name and password for each machine. If there is a universal administrator account on the

network, enter the account credentials for one machine and set the option to apply it to all the

machines that you select. Domain administrator credentials and universal credentials for

workgroups can be applied in this way.

 Browsing an Active Directory domain: click From Active Directory. Provide a universal

administrator account for the machines, such as domain administrator credentials.

 Importing the list of the machines from .txt or .csv files: click From file. Provide a universal

administrator account for the machines.

Note: For a machine which is a domain controller in an Active Directory domain, you must specify the name of

that domain together with the user name. For example: MyDomain\Administrator

When you specify machines to add to the management server, Acronis Backup & Recovery 11

detects on which of these machines the agent is not yet installed. We recommend that you wait until

this detection is complete. Otherwise, only the machines with an already installed agent will be

added to the management server. To cancel this detection, click Cancel status detection.

Specifying the components for remote installation

Components are installed from installation packages. By default, the software takes these packages

from the folder %CommonProgramFiles%\Acronis\RemoteInstaller.

To select a different location of the installation packages of the components, click Change

components source. The selection Registered Components corresponds to the default folder.

If the console is connected to the management server, the software will take the packages from the

machine with the management server. If the console is not connected to the management server,

the software will take the packages from the machine with the console.
