You can then specify this file when creating the deployment task or in the Machines view when

adding machines (p. 127).

You also will be able to provide each MAC address manually.

Enabling Wake-on-LAN on target machines

Make sure that Wake-on-LAN is enabled on the target machines. Enter the machine BIOS and set

Power -> Wake On PCI PME -> Power On. The exact names might vary depending on the BIOS

version.

To enable the Wake-on-LAN feature on a machine running Windows, set the network adapter (NIC)

properties on the machine as follows:

Select Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager -> Network adapters -> select the network

adapter -> Properties -> Advanced:

 Enable PME -> Enabled

 Wake On Link Settings -> OS Controlled

 Wake On Settings -> Wake On Magic Packet

The exact names of the controls may differ depending on your operating system.

If you cannot or do not wish to use Wake-on-LAN on some or all of the target machines, you will have

to boot them into Acronis Snap Deploy 5 Agent manually (p. 110) before the scheduled time comes.

Installing and configuring the PXE server

For the machines to automatically boot over the network into Acronis Snap Deploy 5 Agent when the

scheduled time comes, do the following:

1. Install Acronis PXE Server. If you performed a typical installation (p. 45), the PXE server is already

installed together with Acronis Snap Deploy 5 OS Deploy Server.

Tip: If all of the target machines are located in one subnet, but Acronis Snap Deploy 5 OS Deploy Server is

installed in a different subnet, we recommend installing a separate PXE server in the target machines’

subnet. For details, see “Deployment in another subnet” (p. 108).

2. Connect the management console to the PXE server.

3. Do one of the following, as described in “Configuring Acronis PXE Server” (p. 71):

 Upload Acronis Snap Deploy 5 Agent to the PXE server by clicking Upload components.

 Upload a Preinstallation Environment (PE) image to the PXE server by clicking Upload PE

image to PXE. For information about creating a PE image (a WIM file), see “Adding Acronis

Snap Deploy 5 components to WinPE” (p. 70).

When uploading the agent or the PE image:

 Set Start operating system as the default boot menu option.

 Set up a reasonable time-out so that the operating system can start automatically. You can

leave the default setting for the time-out.

Without a PXE server, you will need to boot the target machines manually (p. 110) before the

deployment task starts.
