I had this working fine in CTP but now that I have installed RC1, and followed the script at the beginning of this thread, I can't get my Vista Media Center to see the Recorded TV files. It sees the Photos, Music and Videos I have installed in the WHS fine, but not the Recorded TV. I also placed some recorded tv files in the Public Folder and added that to the Watched Folders key in the VMC registry, but no luck. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I finally got it working.I still have to use the batch file in the startup folder. Without it, the permissions are getting reset at every reboot.I also had to add the SYSTEM to the batch file-----@ECHO OFFnet share "Recorded TV" /Deletenet share "Recorded TV"="D:\Shares\Recorded TV" /GRANT:Everyone,FULLECHO Y| cacls "D:\shares\Recorded TV" /G "Anonymous logon":F "Everyone":F "Administrators":F "CREATOR OWNER":F "SYSTEM":Fend------
Someone else confirmed that it worked for them, so good luck!
Richard Miller:Ok give me about three weeks to setup another MCE PC, I will see if I can fix the recording refresh to multiple MCE problem.
Have you been able to setup another MCE machine yet? Still having this problem.
Richard Miller: The batch file is not needed in RC1 for recording or storing TV on WHS, RC1 has fixed the problem :)

I had to reinstall WHS, the WHS do not install correctly it was showing the new RC1 build(6.0.1424.2) but it was only showing 10gigs on the C:\ drive and not the 20 gigs.So after the new install I need the batch file for recorded TV to showup in the recorded TV on MCE 2005.Sorry, but the Batch file is still needed for RC1 .

Richard,
I finally got it working again, BUT! Here is the batch file I am using on the WHS which I got from you:
@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 "SYSTEM":F
end
But, it only works if I go into the Sharing Tab on d:/dhares/Recorded TV and manually add "Anonymous Logon" to it also. The batch file adds it to the Security Tab just fine. Once it is in both places, My VMC sees it fine in Watched Folders per the regedit you provided earlier and it works! Can you modify this batch file to included "Anonymous Logon" in the Shared Permissions location? I am not a techie so please be kind! Thanks for your help.

Ted I added the /GRANT:"Anonymous logon",FULL below.
net share "Recorded TV"="D:\Shares\Recorded TV" /GRANT:Everyone,FULL /GRANT:"Anonymous logon",FULL
ECHO Y| cacls "D:\shares\Recorded TV" /G "Anonymous logon":F "Everyone":F "Administrators":F "CREATOR OWNER":F
Thanks! You are great. I will try it later today and let you know what happens. Because of other WHS issues, I might need to do a clean WHS install anyhow (agains x 3!).
OK, I copied this to whs.bat, added it back to Startup and rebooted. Now my Recorded TV folder says "Do Not Share" under the Sharing Tab. When I change it manually to "Share this Folder" and select "Permnissions", it only shows "Everyone" as Read Only. Under the Security Tab it shows the following, all with Full Priviliges:
Administrators (SERVER/Administratiors)ANONYMOUS LOGONCREATOR OWNEREveryoneSYSTEM
Do you think my WHS install is just messing with me??? WHat now?
TMG:Nevermind, I rebooted WHS again and now it all shows up. I'll test the VMC next.
When testing the Vista PC, reboot Vista then test it.
