SYMPTOMS

When you are using the Windows Media Administrator to administer a Windows Media server and you press the F5 key on your keyboard, the connection to the Windows Media server is reset.

CAUSE

The Windows Media Administrator is an HTML-based application that uses Internet Explorer to run the client-side scripting that comprises the interface for the administrator. Internet Explorer uses the F5 key as the shortcut to refresh the browser. Refreshing the browser will cause the administrator to close its existing connection with the Windows Media server and reconnect.

WORKAROUND

There is no workaround for this behavior.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
