1 image for multiple indentical PCs

[gede]

Hello,

I have been reading in the documentations etc but canot find a clear explanation of how to do this.
what I want to do is create 1 image of a PC and use it to install the other PCs but then again it would give all PCs same computer name etc.

Is there a way to create an image with these options open so that I can insert these for each PC?

Hello gede,

Thank you for your interest in Acronis Disk Backup Software (http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/).

We are sorry for the delayed response.

Please notice that Acronis True Image 10.0 Home (http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/) is a solution designed for protecting data. You can use it to install one image to several computers, however, according to Acronis License Policy, you will have to purchase a number of licenses equal to number of computers. Also the installed images will be absolutely identical, so you will have to manually manage the target computers.

The solution best suited for your goals would be Acronis Snap Deploy 2.0 (http://www.acronis.com/enterprise/products/snapdeploy/). It is specifically designed for purposes of deploying systems on many computers simultaneously, with ability to modify settings of target systems from a central computer. Also it allows you to deploy to a different hardware with Acronis Universal Deploy (http://www.acronis.com/enterprise/products/snapdeploy/universal-deploy.html) by allowing you to install the crucial HAL and mass-storage device drivers in an image.

We recommend you to download and install the free trial version of Acronis Snap Deploy 2.0 (http://www.acronis.com/enterprise/download/snapdeploy/) to see how the software works on your computer. With the trial version of the product, you will be able to deploy 5 workstations or servers and use the product for a period of 15 days.

You can find the detailed instructions on how to use Acronis Snap Deploy 2.0 in the respective User's Guide (http://www.acronis.com/enterprise/download/docs/).
