ACRONIS BACKUP AND RECOVERY 10 ADVANCED SERVER VIRTUAL EDITION - INSTALLATION UPDATE 3 Installation Manual page 20

4. For successful installation on a remote machine running Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or
Windows 2003 Server, the option Control panel > Windows Firewall > Exceptions > File and
Printer Sharing must be enabled on that machine.
5. Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 uses TCP ports 445 and 25001 for remote installation. Make sure
that these ports are added to exceptions in the firewall settings on the remote machines.
Tip: If the remote machines are members of an Active Directory domain and use no firewall other than
Windows Firewall, you can add TCP port 25001 to exceptions by using Group Policy. On a domain
controller, create a Group Policy object, then go to Administrative Templates -> Network -> Network
Connections -> Windows Firewall -> Domain Profile -> Windows Firewall: Define port exceptions, and
then add the following port exception:
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).
