4.2 Installing/updating Acronis components on remote machines

Acronis True Image Management Console allows for group installation and updates of
Acronis True Image for Microsoft Small Business Server (local version) and Acronis True
Image Agent for Windows on remote computers. To perform any of these operations, you
will need administrator rights on the target machines.
Installation of Acronis components onto remote machines running all Windows Vista
editions is not possible. You will have to install the components locally on such
computers.
If the remote computer runs Windows XP, the option Control panel -> Folder options
-> View -> Use simple file sharing must be disabled on that computer.
If the remote computer runs 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 computer.
