SYMPTOMS
When you create a Multicast Station with the Windows Media Administrator program version 4.0, and add it to a computer running Windows NT Server NetShow Services version 3.0 or you have upgraded the server from version 3.0 to 4.0, you cannot start the Multicast Station's program with the sample content as your stream source.



CAUSE
The stream's formats contain the Sample.asf format that is included in the Windows Media Administrator version 4.0, rather than the original stream information included in NetShow Administrator version 3.0.



WORKAROUND
When you add the sample .asf content to a computer running Windows NT Server NetShow Services 3.0, use the NetShow Administrator version 3.0 to create the Multicast Station.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Windows Media Services version 4.0.



MORE INFORMATION
This problem only occurs with the sample .asf content that comes with Windows NT Server NetShow Services version 3.0.
