Ok this is the scenerio, I have the SPS search working without a problem.
But when I got to enable full text search the error message I get is ERROR:
Cannot complete this action please try again. Now that is a generic error
message if I've ever seen one. I also have a restore portal setup that has
the same databases and configuration and I went to enable full text search
on that and it worked without a problem. This is where I am at now. We have
a SQL cluster but it is a fail over. If one of the servers goes down the
agents point another duplicate SQL server with the same name and IP address.
So I don't think that is the issue but maybe. What else could it be. Right
when I try and enable full text search that is what comes up. Is there any
logs that might be able to tell me what is going on?
