Hi folks,

Quick question, Is multicast the preferred/recommended way to image multiple computers?

We have about 5k+ machines around our work area that need to be imaged effectively. In the past, we have disabled multicast on our network but recently our network has taken a big impact with the number of machines that have been imaged with unicast on the network. for context, we have a 25Gbps uplink for our file share with images and a queue of 25 devices at a time currently. The queued devices seem to be causing a large storm of dropped packets on our network.

Is multicast the recommended way to image a large volume of machines?
