__How To Multicast__

 * 1) As pc boots up hit your **F12** key one or two times. This will start your network boot.
 * 2) As soon as you see **DHCP** and a little line twirling around press and hold your **CTRL/AL**T keys until you see the blue Maintenance Mode Zen Imaging Screen.
 * 3) Choose #1 **(note this is the second choice as the first is 0 )**
 * 4) Enter
 * 5) When you see **BASH** # type in **IMG**
 * OK
 * 1) F7 for Multicasting
 * 2) Name your session – anything will do. I usually just choose a number or small word.
 * 3) Tab to choose “master”, next …………….

The **MASTER** is the pc that you are imaging **FROM**. Your **CLIENTS** are the pc’s you are imaging **TO**

Repeat the above steps for the pc’s you need to image except you are choosing **CLIENT** instead of **MASTER**. You will type in the exact same session name.

After you have all of your clients attached you press the S key on the master station and imaging will proceed.

If you are imaging many pc’s this way, make sure you count the client pc’s and it matches the Master pc **BEFORE** you start imaging. Sometimes it takes several minutes for them all to attach.


 * IMPORTANT**: Please note that the **Master pc** will make theClient pc 100% identical. What this means is that any changes made to the Master will reflect on the Clients. Make sure you use a “clean image” whenever possible.

We also have “base’ images on the network that we can use. If interested we can show you how to do a basic image off the network. If you do this, any printers would have to be reinstalled.

THE PC YOU ARE MULTICASTING FROM MUST BE EXACTLY LIKE THE ONE YOU ARE MULITCASTING TO. SAME MODEL, TYPE ETC. THE HARDWARE MUST MATCH.
