There are several.

 

Clonezilla, which does do multicast now.

I'll have to give G4L a shot, but I've been using a similar free tool that has 
worked extremely well for me.

 

I use a custom ISO created containing WinPE (from WDS I believe) and ImageX.   
You can use ImageX to then mount the Wim file as if it were local to your 
machine so you can modify the files contained within then commit the changes.  

 

I then use BDD to push the WIM out via PXE boot.  

 

 

 

Thanks,

I just thought with the discussion the past few days of Sysprep before or after 
cloning, that I'd take a moment to jot down my favorite cloning app, and it's 
completely free: G4L, AKA Ghost 4 Linux. It's an ISO that you download, burn to 
a blank CD and then pop into a machine to use to create an image on a server 
(via FTP, by the way - no proprietary transport, but no multicast, either) or 
copy disk-to-disk.

It may not work as well as the paid-for product when you're trying to create a 
whole office of cloned machines, but if you need to image up a new machine 
quickly, this is a darn nice tool.  It'll clone virtually any O/S or file 
system, as it does a bit-for-bit copy of the data. It can also image up just a 
partition. The ISOs can always be found on SourceForge, but here's a link to 
the project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/g4l
