Automatically start Windows Media Services 4.1

[madmarco]

Hello all

We use following configuration for blowing multicast in our network:

- One machine with Windows 2000 Professional with Windows Media Encoder 9.0 installed. A Built-In TV-Card is the source and we are pulling it on port 1111 (didn't have any other idea

- On the other side, there is a windows2000 server with windows media services 4.1 installed. We've defined a multicast station with one tv stream that has the source of the encoding server port 1111

Everything works fine, and i was able to manage the encoder to start automatically encding every time the system may reboot. But now I want to do the same thing for windows media services 4.1, the server which produces the multicast. It is not only the admin gui (nsadmin) which has to be started but also the tv stream! Once the stream has been turned on, I can interactively log off with a user account and it still works, but if the server reboots, it doesnt' start to play the multicast stream automatically.

Does anyone know how to automate this task?

Thanks Marco
