WDS 3.0 requires me to use cached mode in outlook 2003?

Is there anyway around this 2.6 does not require this and it searches all of my main mailbox email just fine. I can enable the option but im scared that it will somehow slow down outlook or cause problems when I use outlook from home on the web interface.

I saw an older thread that said there was a way to disable this in the registry but I do not have the registry folders listed in that post. Is there a way to disable this or is my only choice to go with cached mode

I am using WinXP Pro SP2 with Outlook 2003 and MS Exchange Server. Just for reference, email search worked fine on my main mailbox using 2.6.

Thanks!

    so, i found the answer from microsoft i have recived.

    WDS 3.0 can index uncached exchange, but it is disabled by default. You can enable it by creating a DWORD registry key in: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search" "PreventIndexingUncachedExchangeFolders" and setting it to a value of 0

    but take care, because the indexpath is locatet anywhere in the AllUsersprofile and i don't know how to change it per policy...

    hope it will help you

    Running in cache mode will not messup outlook and will actually make it more responsive. Almost all outlook clients at Microsoft are configured to run in cached mode. My experince is that there is no impact to using Outlook Web Access.

    I will search the key for you and post it

    you need to create the folder "windows search" and in this folder you make the key "PreventIndexingUncachedExchangeFolders"

    Does anyone know the registry setting to allow WDS 3.0 to search your inbox without using cached mode

  • mig16

    I would like this registry key as well. I'm running Windows 2003 Enterprise x64Bit R2 and installed WDS 3.0. Since my users use Terminal Services to get their mail, it won't allow them to enable cache mode, hence searching the inbox isn't allowed.

    I dont have that path in my registry. I can get all the way to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\

    I just dont have the windows search directory...

    anyone else have other ideas Or does anyone at least know if cached mode will mess up outlook in any way
