Media server/Active Dir Help

[csward]

Ok, I have windows 2003 server installed and have setup active directory. My idea is to create a local domain (which is done) but to make the role a streaming media. I want my clients to access video/audio depending on the group they are assigned in. My question is how do I do this? Does anybody have any experience with this? I need to create my ad groups and permissions (need help with this) and setting up my server. Again, this is just a local domain and I'm only using this to practice. I am solely creating a network in my home to accomplish this. Any help would be great!

p.s. - I know active directory is complicated and a class would be helpful but this is for my own personal practice use and need help with some on the hands on. thanks.

If the domain controller is creating a new tree in an existing forest, all local user accounts and settings are deleted, and Windows Media Services will not able to stream content. To resolve this issue, do the following:

1. After you install Microsoft Active Directory on the server, create a new user account that is a member of the Guests group.
2. On the Windows Media server, disable the WMS Anonymous Authentication plug-in.
3. Configure the properties of the WMS Anonymous Authentication plug-in to use the new user account you created in step 1.
4. Enable the WMS Anonymous Authentication plug-in.
5. Stop and then restart the Windows Media Services service.
