    If I gave you solutions for Search they would be for consumer editions of WIndows and not Server, could conflict with Group Policy of your organization.

    So for this reason we dont' handle Server questions here. But I gave you enough referrals that you should be able to get an answer quickly, which is more than anyone else here does.

    Hi SG. I'm' I'm Greg, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, specializing in Installation, Performance, Troubleshooting and Activation, here to help you.

    Please ask server questions at our sister forums for IT Professionals, Q&A forums here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/answers/index.... as Microsoft Community is strictly an end-consumer forum.

    There are also equally good (and sometimes busier) IT Pro forums here:

    I hope it helps.
