Media Connect on Server 2008
This may be construed as a repost and if it does, I apologize, but I figured it was apt now that server 2008 has gone RTM. I read in this post and have seen, even in the RTM I installed earlier today, that the media sharing section of WMP11 that comes with the desktop experience feature appears to be disabled. Is there any way to get a windows media connect device (such as a media extender or an xbox 360) to detect and be able to use the media on server 2008? I've been fooling around with various settings, and can't seem to find an answer. I know the issue with server 2003 was the lack of uPnP support, but I was wondering if this had been addressed/fixed in 2008. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!

I opened "windows media player network sharing service" is selected in the firewall but in WMP11 the share folder option is still disabled.
