Snap Deploy, PXE and true image

Thread needs solution

Hello Everyone,
I'm testing now the Snap Deploy software and i've got a question.
Is it possible in this software to make a PXE boot part that looks like an Acronis True Image panel ?

In fact, I build OEM computers with Acronis true image with a quite "old" method :

I boot on every PC with an Acronis Boot CD ROM, then I choose my server to restore a previously made Image of that type of computer.
I've got about 50 images stored on a SAN in this purpose.

I would like to use the same system but instead of booting on a CD i'd rather like to use a PXE environment.

I tried to use Snap Deploy functionnalities but I didn't managed to get it work like I want.

Any Idea ?

Hello Mathieu,

Thank you for posting and welcome to the forum. I will do my best to help you with your question.

You could try the following workaround to make it work. Install Acronis Snap Deploy 3 and Acronis True Image on the same machine. When configuring the Snap Deploy 3 PXE Server you will have the option to add the Acronis True Image Agent to it.

If you need additional help, please let me know.

Thank you.

Thanks A lot for your reply Anton.

It works !!!

I didn't imagine that we could combine those two products together.

Thanks again.
