(p. 70). This is because choosing a default boot menu option is not available in this case. You need to create
a PE image first (using the WIM image setting), and then upload the PE image to the PXE server (p. 71)
.

7. If the machines are located in a different subnet than the deployment server (p. 109), specify the

Wake-on-LAN proxy installed in that subnet, as follows:

b. Specify the name or the IP address of the machine with Acronis Wake-on-LAN Proxy, and the

user name and password of an administrator on that machine.

8. Click Next.
9. Create a deployment template (p. 85) or select an existing one.
10. Specify when to run the task (set up the deployment schedule):

Once later: The task will run once at the specified date and time.

Daily: The task will run at the selected times every day or every few days.

Weekly: The task will run on the selected days every week or every few weeks.

Monthly: The task will run on the selected day every month.

Manually: The task will run only when you start it manually.

If prompted, specify the credentials for running the task.

Important: When the scheduled time comes, the target machines that are not configured for online
deployment must be turned off or booted into Acronis Snap Deploy 5 Agent, the machines that are
configured for online deployment must be turned on.

With any deployment schedule, you will be able to start the task manually by selecting it in the
Deployment tasks (p. 133) view and clicking Run on the toolbar.

11. Specify a time-out for waiting for all listed machines to become ready, and the action after the

time-out.
In practical situations, some of the listed machines might not connect to the deployment server
at the scheduled time. For example, they may be in use at that time. The task waits for listed
machines to become ready for the time you specified. As soon as all machines are ready, the task
starts deployment.
If not all machines are ready after the time-out, the task can:

Perform deployment to the machines that are currently ready.
