RE: Index of UNC files between w2k y windows 2003 doesn't work



Hi May

I don't feel like I've managed to help you.
I can't help more without more information.
That is why I ask so many questions.

I still can't tell if it is an Indexing Service problem (cataloging or
querying),
or a file access problem (permissions),
or a server communication problem (ping/firewall).

Even if you post your problem to another group,
they will still need the same information !

Shall we start from the simplest level:
do you understand 'ping' ?

I'm doing like this article.
Local user id on each machine with the same user id with same password
This user is local administrator in both servers. He has all permissions in
the remote server to index the remote server. in windows 2000 all of things
were working ok but the problem like I said you before appears when i change
the server
I think that maybe is by the security of windows 2003 or the authentication
or something like this.

Thanks for your attention

Do you mean that user "\\2000server\localadmin" has rights to access the
file UNC path "\\2003server\share\folder\file.ext" ?

I thought that 'local' meant the user wasn't available to other servers ?

If user "\\2000server\localadmin" can access files which have permissions
granted to user "\\2003server\localadmin", then that might just work by
accident, if both users have the same password. I would be surprised, though
- I would hope Microsoft fixed that long ago ! Maybe that is the change in
2000->2003 ?

And what are the queries ?
And what response do you get ?

And does the catalog build seem to have worked ?
If not,
Has the firewall been updated, or does the new server have the same IP
address & ports as the old one ?
Can you 'ping' from one to the other ?
Can the user access the files from the other computer ?

UNC files are files in another server with windows 2003
Yes my index server and catalog are on a windows 2000 server, but i want to
index a physical path like this:"\\server\path" that exists on a diferent
server with windows 2003.
This is a local administrator user that exists in the both servers.

Hi May

What queries ?

What do you mean by "UNC Files " - on another server ?
I think you mean your catalog & search process are on a windows 2000 server,
accessing files to be searched on a different server with Windows 2003.

"same problem" - same as what ?

Are you indexing a website virtual root (vpath) or physical root (path) ?
Does the catalog build look OK - about the right number of documents ?

I have the same problem. The queries do not return any results.
I have two servers in two different networks. One server with w2k and
index server and the remote server that is a server with windows 2003.
This is the file server that I want to index.
I have the same account with the same name and password on both servers
the windows 2000 (indexing server) and the remote machine (windows 2003)
with exactly the same username and password.
With the two servers with w2k the queries were OK but now the queries do
not return any results.

Thank you

May
