QuestionQuery WDS for Multicast details

    Hi,

    I am using wdsmcast through a script to download a WIM from the WDS server.
    Is there any way to query the server for details of available namespaces?

    For example - if I run WDSUTIL /get-allnamespaces (on the WDS server) then it returns available multicast transmissions.
    In particular, this shows the Name (WDS:Mygroup/mywim.wim/1) that is required for the WDSMCAST parameter.

    Of course, WDSUTIL will not work in PE so I cannot use this command, but is there any similar way to query this information from PE so it can be inserted dynamically into a script that will then run WDSMCAST?

    As I am asking, are there any other similar commands that might be able to query the WDS server for anything else (like all available images/image names/groups/driversets etc)? All resources like this would be useful.

    Thanks!
