When adding multiple machines to the management server or when performing remote installation, specify the list of machines. This can be done by:
Typing machine names or IP addresses: click By IP/Name. Provide the administrator's user name and password for each machine.
Browsing the network: click From network. When browsing the network, you can select individual machines, as well as entire workgroups or domains. Provide the administrator's user name and password for each machine. If there is a universal administrator account on the network, enter the account credentials for one machine and set the option to apply it to all the machines that you select. Domain administrator credentials and universal credentials for workgroups can be applied in this way.
Browsing an Active Directory domain: click From Active Directory. Provide a universal administrator account for the machines, such as domain administrator credentials.
Importing the list of the machines from .txt or .csv files: click From file. Provide a universal administrator account for the machines.
Note: For a machine which is a domain controller in an Active Directory domain, you must specify the name of that domain together with the user name. For example: MyDomain\Administrator
When you specify machines to add to the management server, Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 detects on which of these machines the agent is not yet installed. We recommend that you wait until this detection is complete. Otherwise, only the machines with an already installed agent will be added to the management server. To cancel this detection, click Cancel status detection.
