The content index is not updated in SharePoint Portal Server 2003 when you run an index job scheduled task on a computer that is running Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition (924041)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003
SYMPTOMSWhen you run an index job scheduled task on a computer that
is running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition, the content index is not
updated in Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003.CAUSEThis issue occurs because the WScript on a computer that is
running Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition maps to the
64-bit version of Windows Script Host. The SharePoint VBScript files call the
SPSSearch.Admin COM object that is registered only in the 32-bit registry hive
of Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition.WORKAROUNDTo work around this issue, update the index job scheduled
task by using the Microsoft Windows on Windows 64 (WOW64) version of WScript.
To do this, follow these steps:
- Open Scheduled Tasks, right-click the
index job scheduled task, and
then click Properties.
- In the Run box, change the start of the
text ("wscript") to %systemroot%\syswow64\wscript.exe,
leave the remaining text unchanged, and then click
OK.
Note When
you run the 32-bit version of Windows Script Host by using
%systemroot%\syswow64\wscript.exe, the SharePoint VBScript accesses the 32-bit
registry hive of Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition. Therefore, the
SPSSearch.Admin COM object can be initialized.
