device or from the imaging server.
Master device: To start the multicast session from the master device, after all of the other
devices have registered as participants, click Start session.
If you start the session from the master device, the session master must be a device. If you start
the session from the imaging server, the session master must be an imaging server that uses a
previously saved image file.

is sent to and restored on each participating device. Any problems are reported and displayed
on the master device.
Imaging server: To start the multicast session from the imaging server, follow the steps under
"Initiating a Multicast Session from the ZENworks Imaging Server" on page

of the participating devices in this multicast session. You can specify any multicast session,
including one that originates from the Imaging Server (as long as you specify the session name
used by the Imaging Server).
