Post Creating and Configuring a catalog in Windows Server 2008

Creating and Configuring a catalog in Windows Server 2008



You can create multiple index catalogs to suit your needs. To create a new catalog, open the Computer Management snap-in and right-click the Indexing Service branch. Choose New and then Catalog. Specify a name for the catalog and its location and then click OK. The catalog remains offline until you restart the Indexing Service.

Next, expand the newly created catalog in the Indexing Service branch in Computer Management. Right-click Directories under the catalog’s branch and choose New and then Directory to display the Add Directory dialog box. Specify options according to the following list:

1) Path: Specify the path to the folder you want to add in the catalog or click Browse to access the folder.

2) Alias (UNC): If you are specifying a folder on a non-local computer, type the UNC path to the share in the form \\computer\share, where computer is the remote computer’s name and share is the share where the folder is located.

3) Account Information: For a directory on a remote computer, specify the domain\account and the password to be used to access the computer.

4) Include in Index?: Select Yes to include the folder or No to exclude it from the catalog. This option permits you to exclude a subfolder of a folder that is included in the catalog. Add the parent folder and set it to Yes and then add the subfolder separately and set it to No to exclude it.

After you define the directories for the catalog, stop and restart the Indexing Service to populate the catalog. The Properties branch will be empty until you stop and restart the service.
