1.Open theCommand Prompt window.
2.At the command prompt, run WDSUTIL /New-Namespace [/Server:] /FriendlyName: /Namespace: /ContentProvider: [/ConfigString:] /NamespaceType:{AutoCast | ScheduledCast} [/Time:] [/Clients:].
Verify :
To verify that the registration occurred:
1.Open theCommand Prompt window.
