the file to a USB drive.
7.2.2.4 Uploading a PE image to Acronis PXE Server
You can upload a WIM file of WinPE 2.x or WinPE 3.0 to Acronis PXE Server. Such file is called a PE
image. We recommend creating the WIM file by using Acronis Snap Deploy 4 PE Builder (p. 64).
To upload a PE image
1. Start Acronis Snap Deploy 4 Management Console.
2. Click PXE server. If prompted, specify the machine where Acronis PXE Server is installed.
3. Click Upload PE image.
4. Specify the path to the WIM file of WinPE 2.x or 3.0 that you want to upload.
5. Check your settings in the summary screen, and then click Create.
7.3 Configuring Acronis PXE Server
You can configure Acronis PXE server:
 When creating an Acronis bootable media (p. 60) or a WinPE-based bootable media (p. 63).
 When creating a bootable media for user-initiated deployment (p. 116).
Alternatively, you can use direct server configuration, as follows.
To perform a direct configuration of the PXE server
1. Start Acronis Snap Deploy 4 Management Console.
2. In the navigation pane, click PXE server.
3. If the PXE server is installed on a different machine, click Connect to the PXE server, and then
specify the name or IP address of that machine. In logon settings, specify the user name and
password of an administrator on that machine.
When connected to the PXE server, you can perform the following operations by clicking the
corresponding buttons on the toolbar:
 Upload components: Upload bootable components (p. 59), such as Acronis Snap Deploy 4 Agent,
in the same way as when creating an Acronis bootable media (p. 60). The previously uploaded
components will be deleted from the PXE server before uploading the newly selected ones.
 Upload PE image to PXE: Upload the Preinstallation Environment (PE) image (a .wim file) that
was previously created with Acronis Snap Deploy 4 PE builder. For details, see “Uploading a PE
image to Acronis PXE Server” (p. 66).
 Remove: Remove a component or PE image from the PXE server.
 Disable PXE Server: Disable the PXE server. The service does not stop, but no longer responds to
incoming requests.
