Im also interested in indexing the additional Mailboxes in Outlook 2003. Is this possible?

Hello Brandon. One thing I’ve noticed since version 3.0 is the removal of the “Programs” group from the deskbar. I’ve posted examples of this on Channel9 (I’m Nitz Walsh there):

http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PageIndex=4&PostID=248950#248950

This happens regardless of the PC used, so it’s not a configuration issue.

Any ideas?

I’m currently running Vista Business and Outlook 2007. I’ve added the PreventIndexingUncachedExchangeFolders key, but Outlook/Vista still aren’t indexing two additional mailboxes. Any advise ?

Looks like Live search toolbar in Outlook 2K3 is not working with WDS3.0.
After a reinstallation and still no success, I installed MSN toolbar and it works again in Outlook2K3.

yep – redirected folders would be nice, especially as i don’t really have any data “on” my hard disk as its all on the network share (but also available offline so there really is no excuse)

Really work. No others suggested for WDS 3.0 so real help during half a year, I’ve tried to find. But, just, some others application stopped to work after it and maybe 1 solution rests – to reload Windows?

Before you do that, please e-mail me! That is a viable workaround, but it doesn’t help us figure out why you hit this problem in the first place =)

I managed to install WDS 3.0 RTW on my computer after getting the following messages:

00:03.016: INFO: ****** Found xxx Read-Only keys. ******
00:03.031: ERROR: Error modifying the Read-Only ACL on one of the permission restricted keys.

*** As allways, it’s recommended backing up your registry before doing this!! ***

1. Open regedit.
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes
3. Right Click Classes and select Permissions
4. Click Advanced
5. Uncheck Inherit parent permissions (the first checkbox bellow the add button)
6. Click Apply (DO NOT CLICK OK!!) and click Yes on the warning box.
7. Check Inherit parent permissions
8. Check Replace permissions on child entries (the second checkbox)
9. Click Apply again
10. Click OK

After doing that, you should be able to install WDS.

MarkR – Unfortunately Adobe has not released a 64-bit IFilter. Until they do (or someone else does), you will only be able to index PDF files on 32-bit systems. Bummer, I know =/

Andy – The Outlook toolbar you’re referring to is probably the one included in the Windows Live Toolbar – availablt at toolbar.live.com

I use Outlook 2003 and just installed Windows Desktop Search.
Does anyone know how to get the Outlook toolbar back? I used to have the toolbar in Outlook, had to uninstall WDS,
reinstalled WDS, but now I don’t have the Outlook toolbar anymore…

Do you have an update to this?

I’m using the IFilter that comes in Adobe Reader 8.0 on Vista 64 bit and the IFilter is marked as “Registered IFilter is not found” in Windows Search’s Advanced Options.

How is this software “Released” and not still beta? I’m sure it’s fine for technical users who have time and ability to fiddle with registry settings and GP settings, but to give this to end users? They don’t have a chance!

The very least you could do on the download page is have a link to the required additional packages.

Not impressed at all with this leap backwards in functionality!

Amen to Geoff’s comment. It’s a bit unbelievable that WDS 3.0 would be “finished” without the ability to detect when the My Documents directory has been redirected to a network share AND when it’s being used in offline mode on a laptop.
