/imagetype:{Boot|Install}
Specifies the type of image to be transmitted using multicasting. Note Boot is only supported for Windows Server 2008 R2.
/ImageGroup:<Image group name>]
Specifies the image group that contains the image. If no image group name is specified and only one image group exists on the server, that image group is used. If more than one image group exists on the server, you must use this option to specify the image group name.
[/Filename:<File name>]
Specifies the file name. If the source image cannot be uniquely identified by name, you must use this option to specify the file name.
/Transmissiontype:{AutoCast | ScheduledCast}
Specifies whether to start the transmission automatically (AutoCast) or based on the specified start criteria (ScheduledCast).Auto-Cast. This transmission type indicates that as soon as an applicable client requests an install image, a multicast transmission of the selected image begins. As other clients request the same image, they are joined to the transmission that is already started.Scheduled-Cast. This transmission type sets the start criteria for the transmission based on the number of clients that are requesting an image and/or a specific day and time. You can specify the following options:[/time: <time>] - Sets the time that the transmission should start by using the following format: YYYY/MM/DD:hh:mm.[/Clients: <Number of clients>] - Sets the minimum number of clients to wait for before the transmission starts.
/Architecture:{x86 | ia64 | x64}
Specifies the architecture of the boot image to transmit using multicasting. Because it is possible to have the same name for boot images of different architectures, you should specify the architecture to ensure the correct image is used.
[/Filename:<File name>]
Specifies the file name. If the source image cannot be uniquely identified by name, you must specify the file name.
Auto-Cast. This transmission type indicates that as soon as an applicable client requests an install image, a multicast transmission of the selected image begins.

This transmission type sets the start criteria for the transmission based on the number of clients that are requesting an image and/or a specific day and time. You can specify the following options:[/time: <time>] - Sets the time that the transmission should start by using the following format: YYYY/MM/DD:hh:mm.[/Clients: <Number of clients>] - Sets the minimum number of clients to wait for before the transmission starts.
[/time: <time>] - Sets the time that the transmission should start by using the following format: YYYY/MM/DD:hh:mm.[/Clients: <Number of clients>] - Sets the minimum number of clients to wait for before the transmission starts.
Examples
To create an Auto-Cast transmission of a boot image in Windows Server 2008 R2, type:
wdsutil /New-MulticastTransmission /FriendlyName:WDS Boot Transmission
/Image:X64 Boot imagetype:Boot /Architecture:x64 /Transmissiontype:AutoCast
To create an Auto-Cast transmission of an install image, type:
wdsutil /New-MulticastTransmission /FriendlyName:WDS AutoCast Transmission
/Image:Vista with Officeimage imagetype:Install /Transmissiontype:AutoCast
To create a Scheduled-Cast transmission of an install image, type:
wdsutil /New-MulticastTransmission /FriendlyName:WDS SchedCast Transmission /Server:MyWDSServer Image:Vista with Office imagetype:Install
/Transmissiontype:ScheduledCast /time:2006/11/20:17:00 /Clients:100
wdsutil new-namespace
Applies to: Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012
Creates and configures a new namespace. You should use this option when you have only the Transport Server role service installed. If you have both the Deployment Server role service and the Transport Server role service installed (which is the default), use wdsutilnew-MulticastTransmission command. Note that you must register the content provider before you use this option.

Parameters
Parameter
Description
[/Server:<Server name>]
Specifies the name of the server. This can be the NetBIOS name or the fully qualified domain name (FQDN). If no server name is specified, the local server is used.
/FriendlyName:<Friendly name>
Specifies the friendly name of the namespace.
[/Description:<Description>]
Sets the description of the namespace.
/Namespace:<Namespace name>
Specifies the name of the namespace. Note that this is not the friendly name, and it must be unique.- Deployment Server role service: The syntax for this option is /Namespace:WDS:<Image group>/<Image name>/<Index>. For example: WDS:ImageGroup1/install.wim/1- Transport Server role service: This value should match the name given when the namespace was created on the server.
/ContentProvider:<Name>]
Specifies the name of the content provider that will provide content for the namespace.
[/ConfigString:<Configuration string>]
Specifies the configuration string for the content provider.
/Namespacetype: {AutoCast | ScheduledCast}
Specifies the settings for the transmission. You specify the settings using the following options:- [/time: <time>] - Sets the time that the transmission should start by using the following format: YYYY/MM/DD:hh:mm. This option applies only to Scheduled-Cast transmissions.- [/Clients: <Number of clients>] - Sets the minimum number of clients to wait for before the transmission starts. This option applies only to Scheduled-Cast transmissions.
- Deployment Server role service: The syntax for this option is /Namespace:WDS:<Image group>/<Image name>/<Index>. For example: WDS:ImageGroup1/install.wim/1- Transport Server role service: This value should match the name given when the namespace was created on the server.
- [/time: <time>] - Sets the time that the transmission should start by using the following format: YYYY/MM/DD:hh:mm. This option applies only to Scheduled-Cast transmissions.- [/Clients: <Number of clients>] - Sets the minimum number of clients to wait for before the transmission starts. This option applies only to Scheduled-Cast transmissions.
Examples
To create an Auto-Cast namespace, type:
wdsutil /New-Namespace /FriendlyName:Custom AutoCast Namespace /Namespace:Custom Auto 1 /ContentProvider:MyContentProvider /Namespacetype:AutoCast
To create a Scheduled-Cast namespace, type:
wdsutil /New-Namespace /Server:MyWDSServer /FriendlyName:Custom Scheduled Namespace /Namespace:Custom Auto 1 /ContentProvider:MyContentProvider
/Namespacetype:ScheduledCast /time:2006/11/20:17:00 /Clients:20
