DOCUMENT:Q312920 19-NOV-2001 [iis] TITLE :CiCatalogFlags Cannot Disable Local NTFS Notifications PRODUCT :Internet Information Server PROD/VER::2.0,3.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Index Server versions 2.0, 3.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== If you disable notification processing for local paths by setting CiCatalogFlags REG_DWORD to 0x00000002 or 0x00000003, Index Server may ignore this setting for local NTFS paths. Disabling notifications for FAT drives and UNC paths works as expected. WORKAROUND ========== If you want to query a catalog, but prevent Index Server from indexing any changes or new files, set the catalog to read-only by pausing it. You do this by performing one of the following: - In the Index server Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in, pause the catalog (Microsoft Windows 2000 only). -or- - Use the catalog administration API CatAdm.PauseCatalog(). For more information on how to use the catalog administration API, refer the MSDN Library. -or- - Issue the following command from Cmd.exe to set all catalogs to read-only: "net pause cisvc" (without the quotation marks) STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
