10.6 User-initiated deployment (custom deployment)
Acronis Snap Deploy 5 can be configured in such a way that users will be able to deploy and
re-deploy their machines with one click on the boot menu.
User-initiated deployment is also called custom deployment.
10.6.1 Understanding user-initiated deployment
An administrator creates a set of deployment templates (p. 85) that meet the organization’s needs
and assigns to each template a name that can be easily understood by a user.
The administrator creates an Acronis bootable media with these templates or uploads these
templates to a PXE server. The administrator then switches on the user-initiated deployment mode.
Users who need to redeploy their machines boot the machines from the bootable media or the PXE
server, and select the template by name from the boot menu. The deployment starts immediately
and proceeds independently on each machine.
User-initiated deployment mode: a user starts deployment.
