I have one exchange server with fourteen server databases. One these server databases is housing 15 mailbox databases (user mailboxes databases) of these fifteen mailbox DB's all have the same search problem in both the inbox and sent items. They all have the problem in outlook 2010 on their desktop and in Outlook Web APP - Everything I read refers to suggests a reseed of the database, since its effecting all 15 mailboxes in one server database I'm thinking I have to reseed the one server database a DAG copy - again everything I read refers to a copy /DAG - I don't have a DAG.

I need to reseed this Exchange server database:

This one shows me how I can reseed mailbox database   https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee633475(v=exchg.150).aspx

WHILE

Shows me how to reseed a Copy of Exchange server database using EAC

I have never done either before - so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction

Thanks

Hi,

If you don't have DAG, you need to follow the steps below to rebuild content index.

1. Stop the Microsoft Exchange Search and Microsoft Exchange Search Host Controller services.

2. Delete, move, or rename the folder that contains the Exchange content index catalog.

3. Restart the Microsoft Exchange Search and Microsoft Exchange Search Host Controller services.

Best regards,

How do I know where folder that contains the Exchange content index catalog is?
