Hi, I'm noticing an error in my Application log file Exchange Search Indexer has temporarily disabled indexing of the Mailbox database XXXXX It's happened a few times, but not all that often. I think it's just happening when I am rebooting my servers (I have two Exchange 2008 servers running DAGs). I was thinking it's just because one of the servers is currently down so I'm not that worried about it (or should I be?!) My question is how can I test to see if the Exchange Search Indexer has resumed indexing of the database mentioned in the message? Thanks! Mike
