Explanation/Reference:
Creating a multicast transmission for a virtual hard disk image
You can create multicast transmissions for your .vhd images in the same way that you can for .wim images (except you can only create the transmissions from the command line).
To create a multicast transmission
1. Click Start, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
2. Do one of the following:
To create an Auto-Cast transmission, use the following syntax: WDSUTIL /New-MulticastTransmission / Image:<image name> /FriendlyName:<friendly name> /ImageType:Install /ImageGroup:<Image group name> [/FileName:<file name>] /TransmissionType:AutoCast.
Example: WDSUTIL /New-MulticastTransmission /Image:WindowsServer2008R2 / ImageType:Install /ImageGroup:"VHD Image Group" /FileName:install.vhd / TransmissionType:AutoCast
To create a Scheduled-Cast transmission, use the following syntax: WDSUTIL /New- MulticastTransmission /Image:<image name> /FriendlyName:<friendly name> /ImageType:Install / ImageGroup:<Image group name> /TransmissionType:ScheduledCast [/Time:<yyyy/mm/dd:hh:mm>][/ Clients:<no of clients>].
Example: WDSUTIL /New-MulticastTransmission /Image:WindowsServer2008R2 / ImageType:Install /ImageGroup:"VHD Image Group" / TransmissionType:ScheduledCast /Time:"2008/01/20:17:00" /Clients:10
