I'm not into windows at all, but is there still support for Windows
Server 2012? Maybe an upgrade might be desirable.

ok.

What is in the error and in the access log for the corresponding
connects?

Ok.

No. Most people break Icecast by having too much config. You should
NEVER have <mount> sections unless your stream NEEDS to have different
configuration than the other streams.

In fact most servers just work fine with only setting the passwords, the
hostname, and the contact information.

With best regards,
