Sourcing from a remote publishing point

You can use a publishing point on another Windows Media server as the source for either an on-demand or a broadcast publishing point. When your publishing point sources from a remote publishing point, your server is used as a distribution server for the origin server.

You cannot create a publishing point that sources from a remote publishing point by using the Add Publishing Point Wizard. You must use the Add Publishing Point (Advanced) dialog box or modify the source location on the Source tab of an existing publishing point.

If you are sourcing from a remote publishing point, the location is specified by using the URL for the client connection. You can use either of the following formats, replacing servername with the name of the remote server, and replacing publishing_point_name with the name of the remote publishing point:
