SYMPTOMS

The following warning message is logged in the application event log:

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: Ci
Event Category: CI Service
Event ID: 4119
Date: 8/8/2002
Time: 7:57:40 AM
User: N/A
Computer: TESTBRICK
Description: One or more embeddings in file d:\microsoft site server\data\publishing\publications\request.doc could not be filtered.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://support.microsoft.com.

CAUSE

The warning means that although Index Server had a filter to index the host document (typically a Microsoft Office document), it did not have a filter to index an object that was embedded in the host document. The host document was successfully filtered, but the embedded object was not.

This frequently occurs with images such as graphic files or OLE objects that are embedded in Office documents, but it can occur with any embedded file type for which Index Server does not have a filter.

RESOLUTION

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
