Tips for further usage

The new account has the name Acronis Agent User.

If the machine is part of an Active Directory domain, make sure that the domain's security
policies do not prevent the account (whether existing or newly created) from having the above
listed user rights.

After the installation, avoid specifying a different account for the service. Otherwise, the product
may stop working. If you must specify a different account, make sure that the new account is
granted the above listed privileges.
2.3 Unattended installation
Components of Acronis Backup can be installed in the unattended mode, as opposed to the
interactive mode.
Some components require a file known as a transform (an .mst file). Use of a transform for other
components is optional.
The following table summarizes components that can be installed or updated in the unattended
mode.

Preparation
To create a transform for a component, you need the configuration script mst_gen.vbs.
This script is located in the folder where Acronis Backup Management Console is installed. The
default folder path is:

%ProgramFiles%\Acronis\BackupAndRecoveryConsole in 32-bit Windows

%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Acronis\BackupAndRecoveryConsole in 64-bit Windows
Order of installation
First, install the management console. When you install the agent, first install the Agent Core
component, then the agent itself.
Installation procedure
To install or update a component in the unattended mode
1. Start the setup program.
2. Click Extract installation files.
3. Extract the component's installation package.
4. If you are installing a component that uses a transform, create the transform by running the
configuration script. Otherwise, skip this step.
