You can use multicasting to simultaneously deploy images to a group of computers.
You use the options on the Image Multicasting page to specify the IP range, port
range, and other settings to use with multicasting.

Deployment Solution uses the multicasting abilities of the RapiDeploy application.
RapiDeploy is more efficient when it writes directly to the IP address. You can
enter a range of IP addresses when using the multicasting feature for faster image
deployment. Because some network cards do not handle multiple multicast
addresses, you can also identify a range of ports to identify the computers.

Description
The target machine belongs to a domain. When
the task runs, it removes the computer from
any domains. This option rejoins the computer
back to its original domain after the task runs.
The credentials that the computer needs to join
the domain again.
The preboot type to use to start the image
creation process.

Description
The range of IP addresses to use for image deployment.
The range of port numbers to use for image deployment.
The minimum number of clients that need to be part of the group
before multicasting is used.
The maximum speed to use when multicasting to avoid flooding
the network with too much traffic. As this number increases,
there is a greater chance for dropped packets and slower speeds
to occur.
