Environment

Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management with Support Pack 2 - 10.2 Imaging
Novell ZENworks 7 Desktop Management Support Pack 1 - ZDM7 SP1 Imaging

Situation

Workstation to workstation multicast

Multicast master has a directory with a very large number of files (around 40,000+)

Multicast session fails once large directory has been sent (error message is not always the same)

Resolution

This is fixed in version 10.2.2 - see KB 7004803 "ZENworks 10 Configuration Management 10.2.2 - update information and list of fixes" which can be found at https://www.novell.com/support
 
 
Workaround:
Upload the image to the server, then use server-based multicast
