Restoring Windows Media Services
Introduction
Windows Media Services are installed and a publishing point is configured on the server prior
to shipment. The Computer Name of the VOD-WM Server is VODWM. If you subsequently
change this name, the Windows Media Services branch in the Microsoft Management
Console (MMC) shows no server and all Windows Media Services configuration, such as
Publishing Points, are missing. Windows Media Services management is unavailable. This
procedure explains how to restore Windows Media Services management after a server
rename. Contact VBrick Support Services if you need help or more information.
Restoring Windows Media Services
When you rename the server, using any available method, you will typically be prompted for a
reboot. Run the following procedure after you reboot the server.

1. From the

Administrative Tools. Alternatively, select Manage Your Server and from the interface
select Manage this streaming media server to launch the MMC.
