I have a server w2k3 enterprise r2 sp2 with exchange 2003 enterprise, both fullyupdated. I had a problem in the search field in owa and had to rebuild the index in my databases,but in one of them, every time I try to recreate the index EMC crashes. I checked if there was any fault during the deletion process of the index and follow theprocedure reported in the technet blog: http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2005/02/23/379032.aspx My problem is the same though, just in time to create the index, I'm looking for solutionsonline and would like to help.

Please increase diagnostics logging and ensure the database is not scanned by AV - Real time). also confirmt he state of DB (online maintenance compelted etc)
