I have exactly the smae problem as the last few messages. It doesn't make any difference where I log on or what Network I connect to. At home, any time I reboot it attempts to reindex - feels like about 50% - but that could be because by the time it's identified what to index, it has already indexed half already
Anyhow, this is really really annoying. Can I still even get version 3.00 Can anyone tell me if there were issues with 3.00 that would make a backgrade a bad idea. If I hadn't migrated to Outlook 2007 I would just uninstall WDS, but now it seems to make use of the new Outlook, I really need WDS!
Will this bug get noticed quickly by Microsoft
This sounds like the catalog has been rolled back to a checkpoint and we are replaying the log to reindex the item since the last checkpoint.
Are you seeing this reindex even if Outlook is not running after the reboot Is there any errors in the event log
I also experienced the problems described above with WDS 3.01 and had to go back to WDS 3.0.
My recollection is the reindex was occuring at reboot even if Outlook 2007 was not running.
Yes it starts to reindex just after the reboot, doesn't matter if outlook is on or not. I would have thrown WDS out by now, but same issue, we are stuck to have it as part of Outlook 2007 search, Without WDS, Outlook doesn't even find simple contact names !!!
Eric, if you want some thing specific please let us know and we can provide, but need more clearer instructions where to look and what to look at (full paths etc...).
Issue is present even with Outlook 2003 (my laptop has outlook 2003 and WDS 3.01) - Same - keeps re-indexing, but atleast I can get rid of it and use Google Desktop instead.
To better understand the problem, could you please export your event log ("Application" part) by
- running eventvwr.exe
- right click in "Application", "Save log file as "
and send the .evt file to gerhas at microsoft.com
We'll check it out.
Thanks

Hi,
I've sent you an email as requested. Just to confirm that the reindex occurs without Outlook 2007 running (in other words, seems to make little difference). I can't personally see anything relevant in the application log, but none-the-less I have sent it to you as requested.
I am impressed (especially for a company like Microsoft) that I have got this response without having to spend money at Microsoft Support... it has often been a frustration of mine how to report bugs to Microsoft. So thank you!
Regards,
Nic.
Nic, thanks for sending out the event logs. It looks like a problem around stopping WDS when you shut down your machine (a timeout can occur on some machines). If indexing has not been completed, WDS tries to re-do all those items upon re-start (this should be the exception, not the rule). If you let your machine run for a while until you reach 0 items to index, this symptom should go away when you restart. We are currently looking into ways to improve this. Please let me know in case you see this again after reaching "0 items to index".
Again, thanks for sending the data.

Hi Gerald,
Thanks for the response - again I (and I am sure others) appreciate your quick responses and keeness to helo.
Sadly, I have to report that I do not believe your suggestions apply to my situation:
It's a shame really. Outlook 2007 (assuming you have the additional processor power required) is a great product. However, to put this into perspective, I mostly hibernate my notebook, so the reboot issue is not daily... but you get the picture!
Thanks, Nic.
