Acronis PXE Server starts running as a service immediately after installation. It will automatically
launch at each system restart. You can stop and start this service in the same way as other services.
4.5.3.5 Installation of Acronis Wake-on-LAN Proxy
Acronis Wake-on-LAN Proxy enables Acronis Snap Deploy 5 OS Deploy Server to wake up the target
machines located in another subnet.
You need to install Acronis Wake-on-LAN Proxy only if:

You are going to perform deployment to specific machines (deployment to any ready machines
does not involve waking up the machines by the deployment server)
AND

All or some of the target machines are in a subnet other than Acronis Snap Deploy 5 OS Deploy
Server.
Install Acronis Wake-on-LAN Proxy on any server in the same subnet as the target machines. No
additional actions are required.
Acronis Wake-on-LAN Proxy runs as a service immediately after installation. Later on it will
automatically launch at each system restart. You can stop and start this service in the same way as
other services.
4.5.3.6 Installation of Acronis Snap Deploy 5 Management Agent
Installation of Acronis Snap Deploy 5 Management Agent adds the ability for online imaging, the
ability to validate integrity of the master images, and enables Acronis Snap Deploy 5 OS Deploy
Server to start deployment on the machine while it is online.
Online imaging means that the master system is imaged live (without restarting the machine or
suspending operations). You can perform online imaging remotely by connecting the console to the
management agent installed on the master machine. The management agent will be included in the
master image and deployed on all target machines.
However, having excess software in the master image is not always rational.
We recommend that you create a master image by using the bootable component called Acronis
Snap Deploy 5 Master Image Creator. Nevertheless, having at least one management agent on the
network (not necessarily on the master machine) makes sense. You will be able to validate (check)
the integrity of your images (p. 83) by using the management agent.
When installing the management agent on target machines in the environment with several
deployment servers, do the following:
1. Turn off all of the deployment servers.
2. On each target machine, do the following:
1. Install the management agent.
2. Add the ManagementAgent key to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Acronis\SnapDeploy
3. Add the Server string value.
4. In the Server string value, specify the IP address of the desired deployment server.
3. Turn on the deployment servers.
