Hi Folks,
Can you suggest me how to achive the following scenario using Windows Media
Server.

I have a set of pre-recorded videos that I want to webcast at a certain day
& certain time.

I know we can acheive this by creating a broadcast publishing point. But
can we autmate the process? I mean is there any setting in Windows Media
server using which I can say I want to start this publishing point on a
specific date & time and WMS should take care of streaming from there on.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Sure thing - you can use the WallClock playlist value, to specify a
defined time and date to start and/or stop streaming your content

Make sure to read the "Note" about which versions of WMS wallclock can
be used on (you didn't specify which version of the server you have)

HTH
