choose to create an archive of your broadcast, the archive is saved
to a file that can be played back later or made available as
on-demand content. This page contains the following options:

Notes
The server does not use your user account to
access folders and other resources; it uses the Network Service
account by default. If you are saving files to a location other
than C:\WMPub and its subdirectories, make sure that the folder is
shared and that the Network Service account has read and write
permissions for the folder. If the Network Service account does not
have permissions for a folder, the server will not be able to save
files to it. For more information about rights and permissions, see
Understanding rights.
Multicast streaming and the WMS Multicast Data

system: Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition and Windows Server
