Thanks for the screenshots they help :)

You still have other Permission in the recorded TV folder(your folder "RecTV").
It needs to have only have “Anonymous logon” and “Everyone”.

Run this batch file for WHS below, You have changed the name of you "Recorded TV" folder to "RecTV" so here is the correct batch file for your TV folder.

 Copy and Paste and save as WHS.bat in Notepad.

@ECHO OFF
net share "RecTV" /Delete
net share "RecTV"="D:\Shares\RecTV" /GRANT:Everyone,FULL
ECHO Y| cacls "D:\shares\RecTV" /G "Anonymous logon":F "Everyone":F
end

I am able to make it work, thank you very much.

I have one problem, though, Vista Media Center do not display thumbnail preview for several shows that are located in my Windows Home Server. I was able to delete show that are located in WHS, so I know it is not a permission issue.

Is there any extra step to show thumnail preview?

Thanks!

No extra step needed to show thumbnail preview, the thumbnail artwork will come back in time.

Hello:  I followed the instructions on this to the letter and can't get this to work.  I've triple checked everything and I'm officially stumped.  I was wondering if anyone had any advice on where I could look to troubleshoot this.  Any ideas?  Any advice would be greatly appeciated.  My step up is a MCE 2005 with two tuners recording to the local C: drive.  I also have a WHS and the two PCs are connected via ethernet.  The hope would be that the WHS could keep an archive of shows, I'm fine with recording live directly to the MCE. 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions. 

Hi

I attempted this last night and had mixed results:

1)Media center 1 - I was able to view recorded tv on the WHS  with thumbnails however when I come to watch them the playback is very choppy. 

2)Media center 2- When changing the registry for this machine I can change the location to record  tv but I can not see a key for the watched folder. 

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks

Duncan

I have this working great but with a couple of tweaks.  First, I use the fllowing BAT file in WHS when it reboots/starts:

@ECHO OFF

net share "Recorded TV" /Delete

net share "Recorded TV"="D:\Shares\Recorded TV" /GRANT:Everyone,FULL

ECHO Y| cacls "D:\shares\Recorded TV" /G "Anonymous logon":F "Everyone":F "Administrators":F "CREATOR OWNER":F

end

Then, I have to go into Recorded TV/Sharing and Add Anonymous User with full Permissions.

Next, I go into Recorded TV/Security and delete Administrators and Creator Owner

That works for me.  I wish I had a BAT file that would do all the steps but I haven't been able to accomplish that yet.

Ted: just use this bat file below without "Administrators and Creator Owner"

@ECHO OFF
ECHO Y| cacls "D:\shares\Recorded TV" /G "Anonymous logon":F "Everyone":F
net share "Recorded TV" /Delete
net share "Recorded TV"="D:\Shares\Recorded TV" /GRANT:Everyone,FULL
end

Thanks.  That worked to get rid of Administrators and Creator owner but it doesn't add Anonymous Logon under Sharing.

Well, let me reboot the Server and try it again clean.

No, same thing.  No "Anonymous Logon" under Sharing>Permissions.

It Worked!  I'll check it later to make sure the VMCs still see the WHS and let you know.  Thanks again Richard.

Well, I don't understand.  Your BAT file shows the same results as my manual approach under Sharing & Security.  But it doesn't work.  When I go back and do my original BAT file and then the two tweaks, Recorded TV shows up instantaneously on the two VMCs downstairs.  Yest, they look the same under Sharin & Security on WHS.

On WHS "Recorded TV" folder go to the Security tab then Advanced (lower right). clear the "Inherit from parent the permission entries that apply to child objects.Include these with entries explicitly defined here" make sure that check box is uncheck.
