Does anyone have any experience with this add-in? I'm having some problems
pointing it to a valid media server. It tells me that it is not a valid
media server. Isn't Server 2003 a valid media server? The service is
running and it broadcasts other media types.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried the Producer newsgroup? You'll have better luck there.

No I haven't. Since it wasn't part of it I didn't think of it. Thanks I
will give it a shot.

Oh, I've done it again! Sorry! I forgot to re-read your note. Broadcast
is indeed different, and so far questions on the subject don't receive many
responses here. I think it's because there are so many associated
problems/challenges and not many people use it. If you go to the Microsoft
Knowledge Base
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;kbhowto&sd=SO&ln=EN-US&FR=0
and try searching on "broadcast", you'll find many examples of what I mean,
but you might also find an answer to your questions.
 
[CRITICAL UPDATE - Anyone using Office 2003 should install the critical
update as soon as possible. From PowerPoint, choose "Help -> Check for
Updates".]

Hello,

The server requirements for the online broadcasting service (for
multicasting PowerPoint online broadcasts) are unchanged from PowerPoint
2000 and 2002.

The online broadcasting service requires either:

* Windows NT Server 4.0 SP3
OR
* Windows 2000 Server

Windows Server 2003 is not a supported platform for the online broadcasting
service used by PowerPoint.

For more about the online broadcasting service, check out the Office 2000
Resource Kit:

http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/2000/journ/onlinebroadcast.htm

If you (or anyone else reading this message) feel strongly about any
specific enhancement requests for the real-time collaboration and/or remote
presenting capabilities in PowerPoint beyond what is currently possible
with PowerPoint alone (or even with PowerPoint in conjunction with
Microsoft Office Live Meeting), don't forget to send your feedback to
Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also why it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
