SUMMARY
When you create a pull feed in the Microsoft Internet News Service, "*" is the default subscription, which is a wildcard to download all available newsgroups on the upstream server. If this global subscription is removed or modified, the Internet News Service must be restarted. If the Internet News Service is not started, the service continues to download all newsgroups, and the subscription information may not take full effect.



MORE INFORMATION
If the "*" subscription, for example, was removed and "comp.*" was added as an include subscription, the news server would still download "*" or all the newsgroups until the service was restarted. Only when you restart, are the "comp.*" groups downloaded.

To gain access to the newsgroup subscriptions, do the following:

In the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) or HTML Administrator, go to Feeds and get properties on an existing newsfeed. In this window you have the ability to include or exclude newsgroups.

More information can be found in the online documentation for the Microsoft Commercial Internet System 2.0 NNTP service.
