Hi,
around once a month the Windows Search is not working anymore on one of our servers. The search results are showing only some files. When I open the "indexing options" I see that the indexing is running and running but never complete.
When I try to stop the Windows Search service it hungs on "stopping". I have removed the whole Windows Search, deleted the whole C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search directory and reinstalled it. But again after around 4 weeks the database seems to be corrupt again and we have the same issue.
We have around 800.000 files, from what I could read this should not be a problem. It is a powerful box with Dual CPU and 24gb of memory and the server is not busy at all. All other servers (around 40) are running fine.
We have already excluded C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search in Symantec Endpoint Protection.
There are no errors logged in the event viewer related to Windows Search.
Any ideas where I can look for?
Thanks!
