Prompt for configuring the agent on the target machine’s side
With the default configuration, the agent:
Takes the network settings, such as the IP address, from the DHCP server (uses DHCP auto
configuration).
Connects to the Acronis Snap Deploy 4 OS Deploy Server that you specified when creating
the bootable media or uploading the agent. If you did not specify a deployment server, the
agent connects to the first deployment server it finds on the network.
You can load the agent with the default configuration if there is a DHCP server and only one
Acronis Snap Deploy 4 OS Deploy Server on the network.
When configuring the agent, you can set up the following settings:
Network settings for each network adapter of the target machine. This option enables you to
manually specify network configuration if automatic configuration is not possible (for
example, if no DHCP server is present on your network).
The Acronis Snap Deploy 4 OS Deploy Server the agent will connect to. This option enables
you to have multiple deployment servers that perform different functions on the same
network. If you leave this field empty, the software will search for the deployment server
automatically.
Note: Acronis bootable media uses NetBIOS networking protocol to resolve Acronis Snap Deploy 4 OS
Deploy Server in a network. NetBIOS protocol uses ANSI characters for host names. So, machines that have
non-English characters in their names cannot be accessed from Acronis bootable media. If the name of the
Acronis Snap Deploy 4 OS Deploy Server machine contains non-English characters, use the machine's IP-
address to specify it in the network.
