Incorrect permissions on Windows Search directories ERROR

Microsoft has ready not tried to resolve this problem.  The answer is quite simple.  Local the folder <<C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search>>.  The owner and permissions have to be replaced on the entire directory tree.

Detail instructions to accomplish this: 

>Right click it,

>select properties,

>select Security Tab,

>Advanced button

>Owner Tab

>Edit

>Select/Add your user ID and select "Replace Owner on subcontainers and objects"

>Click OK

>  Back completely out of the properties

>Right click <<C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search>>

>select properties,

>select Security Tab,

>Advanced button

>Permissions Tag

>Permissions button

>Add button

>enter name, check name, and select, and OK

>Back in the Permissions window: Select "Included inheritable..."  and "Replace all child object permissions ..."

>  OK out of the properties panels

May require a reboot to restart indexing.  Be sure to recheck the <<C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search>> for permissions and ownership.  My corporate security settings reset this each day.   What fun.
