ACRONIS BACKUP AND RECOVERY 10 ADVANCED SERVER - INSTALLATION UPDATE 3 Installation Manual page 19

25001:tcp:*:enabled:Acronis remote install
TCP port 445 is added to exceptions automatically by Windows Firewall when you enable File and Printer
Sharing.
You can exclude both ports from exceptions after the remote installation is complete.
Installation
1. Run Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console.
2. Click Install Acronis components.
3. Do one of the following:

Specify the name or IP address of the Acronis License Server and click Next. If the license
server has licenses for multiple Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 editions, select the edition to
install.

Type a trial license key. You can use a single trial license key for remote installation to
multiple machines.

Click Install Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 for online backup only (license key is not
required).
4. Select the location of the installation files. The default selection Registered Components will use
installation files from the default folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Acronis\RemoteInstall.
5. Specify the components that you want to install and their features. Please keep in mind that the
features, or add-ons, cannot be installed if the main component is not installed or selected for
installation.
6. If you selected to install the agent, specify whether to register the machines on the management
server after agent installation.
7. Select machines on which the components are to be installed. This can be done by:

browsing the network. When browsing the network, you can select individual machines, as
well as entire workgroups or domains

typing machine names or IP addresses (click Next then add machines to the list)

importing the list of the machines from .txt or .csv files.
8. Provide the administrator's user name and password for each machine. If there is a universal
administrator account on the network, enter the account credentials for one machine and set
the option to apply it to all the machines that you select. Domain administrator credentials and
universal credentials for workgroups can be applied in this way.
If you do not specify credentials for all machines involved, or if the credentials are not valid for
some machines, you will have an option to provide credentials during installation (there is an
option Other user in the user name and password error prompt).
Note: For a machine which is a domain controller in an Active Directory domain, you must specify the name
of that domain together with the user name. For example: MyDomain\Administrator
9. If a trial product version is installed on some of the selected machines, a list of such machines is
displayed. Select the machines where you want to upgrade the product to a full version.
10. If you selected to install the agent, specify whether to create a new account for the agent service
or use an existing one. See "Specifying credentials for Acronis services (p. 16)" for details.
The summary window displays a list of machines where the components will be installed.
Once the installation starts, the program displays the operation progress and the name of the
machine on which the components are being installed.
