Naming the publishing point

  • Article

Specify the unique identifier for the new publishing point. This identifier will be used in the URL of your publishing point and, thus, should be meaningful to your users. If you are using multiple Windows Media servers, you can use the same publishing point name on each server; for example, server1 can have the publishing point Jazz music and server2 can have the publishing point Jazz music, but you cannot use the same name twice on the same server.

Note

The characters <>?%&'#"{}|^[]* are reserved and cannot be used in the publishing point name.

Note

When naming a publishing point, you should avoid using names that are identical to those of directories or subdirectories on the Windows Media server. A publishing point with the same name as a directory may interfere with the operation of another publishing point that sources from that directory.
