Using Multicast functionality in ConfigMgr

Posted by: hho in System Center, SCCM, Multicast, Configuration Manager, ConfigMgr on Jan 4, 2011

By default ConfigMgr 2007 Operating System Deployment (OSD) is deploying in Unicast. Every deployment or software distribution will be bit by bit transferred to the device. With ConfigMgr 2007 R2, and specific configuration, Multicast is also possible. Then you can deploy maybe 50 or 100 devices at a time, without the data (bits) being transferred to every device for itself. It's good to know that you have a few possibilities in Multicast, and it's only working in WinPE mode. So what's the advantage of it, with Software distribution in the Task Sequences?
