Multicast Service Point not installing correctly! Please Help!

[InigoMontoya]

I was troubleshooting an issue with a hash mismatch during OSD and while going through the logs I realized that the hash's don't match because the package was never successfully downloaded via multicast! so there is no hash to check against!

 

then I started looking into the mcsMSI and MCSSetup logs files - there are errors but I am not sure what is failing!? this, by the way is a fresh installation of the Multicast Service Point. first thing I tried to do is re install the role - but this has been unsuccessful.

 

Please help me dissect these logs to figure out why the multicast service point is not installing properly!

 

 

Thank you in advance!

Don't forget to update DP's after having enabled "Multicast" on Windows Image and Packages to rebuild the "hashing".

well, the issue is that it isn't even downloading the packages to begin with - it fails to open a multicast session because the MCSP isn't installing correctly on my DP. I will post the smstslog as well

 

 

 

 

 

Attached is the latest SMSTS log - you will notice the error in downloading the file once it starts a multicast session, and then when it tries to check the hash it fails because it has no file to actually check against.

Here is an update - after a whole day of troubleshooting I have concluded that the only reason my task sequences were failing via Multicast is because they live on separate VLANs. So PXE booting using unicast works great - and I can use multicast as long as the machine is on the same VLAN as the PSP.

 

This however, is not ideal. I need to be able to PXE boot across VLANs while using multicast. Anyone have any suggestions as to what needs to be done in my router to allow multicast across VLANs?

 

Also - when I have a multicast session open even on the same VLAN it downloads extremely slow in comparison to the unicast session. Has anyone else noticed this behavior?

 

Please advise
