  • 1.  Multicast Issues with CMS 8.0; DS 6.9sp6

    Looking for any shops that have a Cisco network, with a Nexus 7000 core and various Cisco switches ranging from 3560G to C4500. We have seen imaging times decline (for a 30GB image) from under an hour to four to five hours.  Currently we are testing deployment from two sources:

    Deployment Solution 6.9 sp6 deploying Windows 7.1 and 10 images (using Rdeploy and yes I know that's legacy stuff)

    Client Mangement Suite 8.0 deploying Windows 7.1 and 10 images (using Ghost--12.0.0.7250)

    Speeds for both setups are consistent and consistently slow. 

    Our Cisco guy wants to reach out to anyone with a Cisco network and using either of these deployment tools and using them with acceptable speeds. 

    Diagnostics of both network and servers show all is good but obviously all is not.

    If you find this post and want to reach out to me, email lilly@tarleton.edu.

    Some clarification. 

    For DS 6.9xp6 we are using PXE WinPe 4.

    For CMS 8.0 we are currently testing just with automation folder using WinPE 5. 

    We don't have any site servers. Small shop with 1400 clients across various subnets with appropriate IP helpers.
