This issue was fixed in Update 4 (Build 1877), please update to the latest build. 

To work around the issue without installing the update, do the following:

  1. Close Acronis Snap Deploy Management Console.
  2. Download ag_echo_file.dll
  3. On the machine with Management Agent installed (from which you want to take the master image), place the downloaded dll into:
    • C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Acronis\Agent - for a 64-bit system
    • C:\Program Files\Common Files\Acronis\Agent - for a32-bit system
  4. On the machine with Management Agent installed, restart Acronis Remote Agent Service: Start -> in Search, type services.msc -> click Services -> locate Acronis Remote Agent Service -> click Restart service.
  5. Connect Management console to the Agent to create the master image.

Network shares are now listed in the Computers near me section.
