I'm attempting to run a multicast installation with WDS over my network, where WDS is hosted in a virtual machine in a Hyper-V cluster.
I believe we've paved over most of the network-related issues – I can successfully run multicast packets using Microsoft's mcast.exe over from the switch next to the physical Hyper-V host, to the switch that will be connected to the machines that need to be installed.
However, when I try to run these multicast packets using the same utility and method from the WDS VM, they never seem to reach the client computer on the other end.
Is there something that can be configured in Hyper-V so that Multicast packets will work correctly in Server 2008 R2?

No, not at all. Worked here like a charm some months ago when we rolled out new stuff on a trading floor. We use a Netgear infrastructure (switch wise) and needed zero changes for the multicast to just work.
