yes, yes, yes. Please show me.

All devices are the same

We are trying to image 30 computers at a time. This worked successfully 2 summers ago. We have a cisco network and nothing has changed regarding it. What has changed is we have switched from MDT to SCCM 2012. The MDT server was avirtual machine (Hyper-V) running on Server 2008. That Server 2008 box has been redone (using same hardware) and is now Server 2012. MDT is gone and replaced by SCCM 2012. Imaging single computers works fine. However, 30 at once took 6 hours. Obviously, this is not acceptable, especially since we have over 800 computers to image. Something is wrong! I confirmed all Cisco/multicast settings, but as earlier mentioned, nothing has changed. Should I consider Unicast? If so, how do I do that? Also, are there ant Virtual network consideration on the Hyper-V box I should address? Thanks in advance!

I recently have several users complaining they can no longer use Outlook (2010) from home. They open Outlook and it tries to load profile but fails after a few minutes. If you click retry it may or may not connect. Most users don't bother and switch to OWA. I normally VPN in so I never noticed. However, when I do not VPN in it does not work for me either(I'm using Outlook 2013). Outlook Anywhere is configured and had been working for years. I ran every test imaginable (ex.https://www.testexchangeconnectivity.com/) and each test succeeds. On my laptop, with Outlook connected while connected via VPN, I can disconnect VPN and Outlook will reconnect. I have another "old" windows 7 laptop with Outlook 2010 at home and it works fine. So it is not consistent. How do I go about troubleshooting this? thanks in advance.
