Change multicast IP address

Microsoft.Windows.Server.2008.WDSRole.EventCollection.514.515 (Rule)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

The multicast server uses multicast IP addresses to connect client computers with an associated transmission. This means that each client computer that is connected to a multicast transmission is listening on the multicast IP address that is associated with that transmission. Problems occur when the multicast IP address is being used by another server at the same time.

Resolutions

To perform this procedure, you must either be a member of the local Administrators group or have been delegated the appropriate authority.
