IIS Media Services 4.1 in W2012 Server

While trying to setup the Windows Media Services on W2008R2 and failed, I was looking for an alternative for W2012.  I found out that Windows Server 2012 does not support Windows Media Services anymore.  W2012 now uses IIS Media Services 4.1 instead.  I deployed the Media Services 4.1 to my W2012 Server but was not able to test yet.  I still need to read the documentation to be fully convinced that I need to ditch the old Media Streaming that I am currently using. 

Here’s the setup information.
