neilmc Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 WDS Seems to be taking an age to image machines, 4 machines may take almost a day, and a full classroom even longer. Is there a way to speed up deployment or is it just one of those things which can take a while?
carvjo Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 Turn off multicast.. worked for me - image times went down from 3 hours to 20 minutes..
carvjo Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 Start "Windows Deployment Services" from "Administrative Tools". Browse to and expand "Multicast transmissions", right-click your deployment name and select "Deactivate".
neilmc Posted August 18, 2010 Author Posted August 18, 2010 Thanks for that, but Multicase isn't enabled, I'm just thinking that maybe the image size are massive and its going to take a while.
kmount Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 Well, how big is the image? Have you tried a PC connected to the same switch as the WDS server for speed? Is the switching gigabit, is it capable of multicast?
