Hello, We recently turned on multicast in our SCCM environment, which has turned on fine on all distribution points; however, when we turn it on within our Primary Site server the WDS server enters a stopped state and will not start until you remove the multicast check box for that server. The error we see is: "The Content Provider SMSProvider loaded from C:\Program Files\SMS_CCM\smswdstp.dll failed to initialize. Error Information 0x2." We have found other articles posted experiencing a similar issue and the resolution for most was to remove the PXE, WDS, Multicast feature/roles, reboot, clean out the RemoteInstall folder, and reinstall. When we do that it starts for a few seconds and then stops the service at which point it cannot be restarted until removing the Multicast feature within the SCCM console. We are running on Configuration Manager 1702 which is running on top of Server 2012 R2 x64 - VMware virtual machine. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks /Gus
