To deny unicast connections to a server

1. Click the server that you want to deny unicast connections to.
2. In the Windows Media Services snap-in, on the Action menu, click Deny New Connections.

-or-

In Windows Media Services Administrator for the Web, click the Deny button.

New requests for unicast streams will be denied.

Note

• If you are delivering the content as both unicast and multicast streams from a broadcast publishing point, players will still be able to receive multicast streams from the server after you deny unicast connections. You must stop either the server or the publishing point if you do not want players to receive the multicast stream.
