Creates a new multicast transmission for an image. This command is equivalent to creating a transmission using the MMC snap-in (right-click the Multicast Transmissions node, and click Create Multicast Transmission). You should use this command when you have both Deployment Server and Transport Server role services installed (which is the default installation). If you have only Transport Server installed, use /new-Namespace.
