Running Acronis Master Image Creator - ACRONIS SNAP DEPLOY Manual

4.1.2.

Running Acronis Master Image Creator

Acronis Master Image Creator allows you to create master image both on
local (with bootable version of the Acronis Master Image Creator) and remote
computer (with Acronis Snap Deploy Management Agent installed).
Acronis Snap Deploy also works with images created in Acronis True Image.
Unlike a master image created on a local computer with bootable version of
Acronis Master Image Creator, the image created on a remote computer
automatically includes the Acronis Snap Deploy Management Agent.
Note that agent will be automatically installed on all target computers after
deployment.
If you want to manage files and execute applications on all target computers
after deployment, you can use remote master image creation. But in most
cases, there is no need to add to a master image with additional software.
We strongly recommend that you use a bootable version of Acronis Master Image
Creator to create a master image on a local machine instead of master image
creation on a remote computer.
To create master image:
1. Select Create master image in the Acronis Snap Deploy Management
Console main window.
2. Click Next in the Master image creation wizard welcome window.
3. Choose image creation mode: Create master image using bootable
media or Create master image on a remote computer.
