I'm not sure what you mean by &quot;users mapped drives are not indexing&quot;, perhaps you could elaborate on what you are expecting to happen and what you are experiencing.

Hello,<br />
<br />
When you do a search on a mapped drive (it may contain more than 3000 files) a search takes a very long time. Whereas if it was indexed locally (like their outlook) a searh would take seconds.

Hello,<br />
<br />
I have just implemented a 2008R2 Terminal server, and users mapped drives do not seem to be indexing. I have the windows search services running on the terminal, but cannot figure out what to do to fix it? The machine with the shares is running 2003.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?<br />

Thanks,
