server 2008, SCCM sp2 and WDS RRS feed

  • Question

  • I have been using SCCM OSD for about more than a year now and I was waiting for SCCM sp2 for the multicasting feature.  Last week, I formatted and installed server 2008 sp2, sql 2005 sp2, wsus sp2, sccm sp2.  The only program I did not install was WDS and now there is no multicasting tab in the distribution properties.  How can I get the multicast tab available in the distribution point?

    I tried installing WDS and no multicast option.  Hopefully I will not have to reformat again to solve this issue.

    Thanks

  • HI Frank.

    Multicast is a ConfigMgr. R2 feature. Once you have installed that you will see a Multicast tab on your server distribution points (not server shares).

  • Correct, you need the ConfigMgr 2007 R2 add-on to get the multicast feature. And for reference, you can install the ConfigMgr 2007 R2 add-on to either an SP1 or SP2 site.
