Windows Server Forum / Windows Media Server / October 2003web administrator
Hi I've set up wm services 9 on win 2003 alright but now I want to use the remote web adminstrator and I keep getting a error message. Specifically, it loads a web page saying "The Windows Media Services service was unavailable. Check that it is installed on the specified computer." It is installed (and streaming just fine) and I'm only trying to administer the local computer. I can't understand what could be going wrong. I've tried using either SSL or http authentication. I've looked in all the documentation with no luck. Please help! Greg Greg: Few things we can check together here. First, can you start your web services "http://localhost:8080/default.asp"? If not, please check your machine IIS for WMS Web services was set to "start" in Computer Management -> Services and Applications -> IIS ->Web Site -> Windows Media Administion Site. Alos check your IP does not conflict with other ports. The remote admin uses Client -> ASP -> WMS connection to do the job. If WMS is on the ASP box, then probably is security setting are invalid (Account should be Administrator accout) If WMS is on a remote box (from ASP), then you must NOT use "Intergrated Windows authentication" default option, which option is under Computer Management -> Services and Applications -> IIS ->Web Site -> Windows Media Administion Site->Properties windows. Instead you should use "Basic authentication" option. These are due to the design based on DCOM features. Please try it, see if it helps.

It doesn't look like it's a problem with authentication. It looks like the problem is that the web administrator is unable to connect to the windows media server.

Greg: Another possibility is the wmsservertypelib.dll register problem. You can write a simple VBS program to verfy this error by creating a server object and ask for its name. If this fails, then please try to hand register wmsservertypelib.dll. This file should be in c:\windows\system32\windows media\server\ directory. Does the MMC snap-in work?
