Scheduled deployment in other subnet using Acronis WOL Proxy

Steps:

1. Install Acronis Snap Deploy Management Console and Acronis License Server. Import licenses to

the license server. Install Acronis OS Deploy Server and Acronis PXE Server.

2. To enable the Acronis PXE Server to work in other subnet (across the switch), configure the switch

to relay the PXE traffic. The PXE server IP addresses are configured on a per-interface basis using

IP helper functionality in the same way as DHCP server addresses. For more information please

refer to:

3. Install Acronis WOL Proxy in the subnet where the target computers are.

4. Make sure that Wake on LAN is enabled on the target computers. If you cannot or do not wish to

use Wake on LAN on some or all of the target computers, you will have to boot them into Acronis

Snap Deploy Agent manually before the scheduled time comes.

5. Create bootable media with Acronis Master Image Creator.

6. Configure and image the master system.

7. Create and save a deployment template.

8. Configure Acronis PXE Server:

upload Acronis Snap Deploy Agent (to boot the targets into the agent before deployment)

set Booting from HDD as the default boot menu item (to boot the targets into the deployed

OS after the deployment)

set up a reasonable timeout so that the OS can start automatically.

9. Create a list of target MAC addresses. This can be a plain text file:
