MOSS has no indexers

  • Article

one of the problems you might face during MOSS installation is missing a role such as Search indexing service...

 when you try to create a new SSP, you'll get an error saying that "no indexers" and the drop down list for the indexers is disabled!!!

The solution simply is when you installed MOSS on the box, you forgot to install the search indexings,

 so as a solution, you need to either uninstall MOSS (don't delete the DBs) then reinstall with the indexing service again...

another solution is to add another box to the farm that will hold the indexers...!!!!

 

Note: uninstalling MOSS will not remove your configurations....
