Unsupported UNC Path in Windows 7 Desktop Search
Hi folksDoes anyone know how to solve the following problem? We have a pretty large environment about 20'000 users and stand in front of a migration from Vista to 7 (Enterprise). Out users have their shell folders (desktop, documents, favorites, pictures, music, videos, searches, links etc.) redirected to an NetApp based UNC location. Because of the large amount of data from our users we are not able to set those UNC path to a mandatory offline synchronization and let this decision up to the user. There is no problem to link those UNC path to the Windows 7 libraries, but we got this famous yellow banner calling out "There are unsupported library locations in use". Under Windows Vista I could set up a GPO included file:///H:\* path to get the mapped homeshare (H:\) indexed in the windows desktop search. Under Windows 7 i got an GPO error event, that this type of include path is not supported. Is there realy now way to include the %homeshare% of an user into the windows desktop search (indexed)? I even tried to modify the regvalues under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows Search\CrawlerScopeManagerSystemIndex... ..\CurrentPolicies\... ..\Gather\... and so on.We need help, because we plan to provide a RC of our Office Automation Client at the end of this month to our customers.Kind regards, m@ Nobody needs fruits to get connected - Windows 7 rocks!
