Full Application Event Log Prevents Enumeration and Indexing of Virtual Roots

ID: Q164180

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Index Server version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

If the Application Event Log is full when the W3SVC service is started, Index Server may not enumerate and index virtual roots.

CAUSE

Index Server adds an event to the Application Event Log when it adds a virtual root to the list to be indexed. If the Event Log is full, Index Server will not add the root to the list to be indexed. Therefore, the catalog will not get updated, and the queries will return incorrect results.

WORKAROUND

To fix this issue, clear out the Application Event Log in Event Viewer.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Index Server version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
