9.2.7 Security identifiers
Acronis Snap Deploy can generate unique security identifiers (SIDs) for the target computers. This
option is normally enabled. The SID can remain unchanged if there is no computer with the same SID
in the same workgroup or domain. Also, it is recommended not to change the SID if the image is
deployed on the same computer where the image was taken from.
New SIDs will be generated for the target computers
9.2.8 Transferring files
[OPTIONAL] Select files to be transferred to all target computers after deployment (for example,
installation files.) The files must be located on a network share. Check Execute file if you want to
execute the files after deployment.
9.2.9 Executing applications
[OPTIONAL] You can specify service applications (from the master system image) for executing on the
target computers after deployment.
9.2.10 Using Acronis Universal Deploy
