Description

The Add-CMMulticastServicePoint cmdlet enables multicast to simultaneously send data to multiple clients on the distribution point.

Note

Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.

Examples

Example 1: Add a multicast service point by using the pipeline

PS XYZ:\> Get-CMDistributionPoint -SiteSystemServerName "server01.contoso.com" | Add-CMMulticastServicePoint -UserName "contoso\administrator" -StartIPAddress "224.0.1.0" -EndIPAddress "239.255.255.255" -StartUdpPort 64001 -EndUdpPort 65000 -ClientTransferRate "Profile100Mbps" -MaximumClientCount 100 -SessionStartDelayMins 15 -MinimumClientCount 20

This command gets the distribution point object with the site system server name server1.contoso.com and uses the pipeline operator to pass the object to Add-CMMulticastServicePoint. Add-CMMulticastServicePoint enables multicast on the distribution point object using the administrator account, creating an IP address range of 224.0.1.0 to 239.255.255.255, and a UDP port range of 64001 to 65000. The command also sets the minimum and maximum client count, and sets a start delay of 15 minutes.

Example 2: Add a multicast service point

PS XYZ:\>Add-CMMulticastServicePoint -SiteSystemServerName "server02.contoso.com" -UserName "contoso\administrator" -StartIPAddress "224.0.1.0" -EndIPAddress "239.255.255.255" -StartUdpPort 64001 -EndUdpPort 65000 -ClientTransferRate "Profile100Mbps" -MaximumClientCount 100 -SessionStartDelayMins 15 -MinimumClientCount 20

This command enables multicast on the distribution point with the site system server name of server1.contoso.com using the administrator account. The command creates an IP address range of 224.0.1.0 to 239.255.255.255, and a UDP port range of 64001 to 65000. The command also sets the minimum and maximum client count, and sets a start delay of 15 minutes.

Parameters

-ClientTransferRate

No longer used. Transfer speed is dynamic.

Specifies the client transfer rate. Valid values are:

  • None
  • Profile100Mbps
  • Profile10Mbps

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:cf
Position:Named
Default value:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-DisableWildcardHandling

This parameter treats wildcard characters as literal character values. You can't combine it with ForceWildcardHandling.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
