Step 3: Configuring the agent's installation package
Important: Skip this step when reinstalling or updating the agent.
Finally, you need to configure the agent's installation package by running the configuration script,
which is installed along with the management console. By default, the script is located in the folder
%ProgramFiles%\Acronis\BackupAndRecoveryConsole. If the management console is installed on a
different machine, you can simply copy the configuration script from that machine.
The configuration script creates a transform (also known as a modification, a modification file, or an
.mst file) for the installation package.
1. In the Start menu, click Run, and then type: cmd
2. Click OK.
3. Change the current folder to the one where the configuration script mst_gen.vbs is located, by
running commands such as:
C:
cd "C:\Program Files\Acronis\BackupAndRecoveryConsole"
4. Run the configuration script.
For example,
\\server\Acronis\AgentWindows.msi and uses licenses for the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10
Advanced Server edition from the license server installed on mylicensesrv; the agent will run
under the user account mydomain\AgentUser:
mst_gen.vbs /msi_path \\server\Acronis\AgentWindows.msi /license_server
mylicensesrv /product AS /account mydomain\AgentUser MyPassWd
For the complete syntax of the configuration script, see Configuration script parameters (p. 21).
The agent's setup file is ready for deployment. You now need to create a Group Policy object, as
described in Setting up the Group Policy object (p. 24).

Setting up the Group Policy object

Use this procedure to set up a Group Policy object for agent deployment in the entire domain or in its
organizational unit. The agent will be installed on each machine which is a member of the domain or
the organizational unit immediately after Windows starts on that machine.
