Using the Index Server in Scalable mode on a Windows Server 2003-based computer

SYMPTOMS

When you have multiple Web sites on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003-based computer, you may find that the Microsoft Index Server catalogs for each site and uses a lot of disk space.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the Index Server uses a separate catalog for each Web site that you create on a server, and this may use a lot of disk space when you have multiple Web sites on a Windows Server 2003-based computer.

RESOLUTION

This problem was fixed in Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1).

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft recommends that Web Presence Providers (WPP) of Microsoft FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions (FPSE) on Windows Server 2003-based computers use Index Server to provide search capabilities. Wide Area Information Service (WAIS) search functionality is not included in FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions for Windows Server 2003-based computers.

FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions on Windows Server 2003-based computers that are running Index Server do not support Uniform Naming Convention (UNC) redirection.

The feature for indexing multiple sites in a single catalog, Access Control List (ACL) trimming and search capabilities over Distributed File System (DFS)/UNC is available in Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and Microsoft Windows SharePoint Team Services (STS) 1.0 Service Pack 3 (SP3).

APPLIES TO
  • Microsoft FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions, when used with:
    • Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition (32-bit x86)
