Using an existing publishing point

You have the option of using a preexisting publishing point instead of creating a new one. For example, Windows Media Services installs an on-demand publishing point by default that can be used to stream on-demand content without any further configuration. To use the default publishing point, simply place the content in the %systemdrive%\Wmpub\Wmroot directory. You can also change the source of the default publishing point to a playlist or another directory on the Source tab of the default publishing point. If you choose to use an existing publishing point, you will exit the Add Publishing Point Wizard.
