MOSS 2007 Schedule Crawls are not starting automatically

  • Artigo

SYMPTOMS:

1. The incremental or Full Crawls will not start when they are scheduled in SharePoint 2007

2. You alwasy need to start them manually

3. Some times when you browse to browse Search Settings.aspx page you get 403 Forbidden Error

 

Error Message/Cause:

Most of the time we dont see any error messages, We only face issue that Schedule Crawls will not start automatically

Sometime we see that Folder %WinDir%\Tasks is not added with SharePoint Local group WSS_WPG Where Indexer is Running

Resolution/WorkAround:

1. Login to the MOSS Indexer machine with account which has Administrative previlages

2. Open Command prompt and run the command attrib –s %windir%\tasks.

%Windir% is the Default installation of Windows

3. Open Windows Explorer and go to the %Windir%\Tasks folder And open the properties of the Tasks folder

4. Click the Security tab and Check whether we have WSS_WPG, If it is not there Add the Group with Full Read and Write permissions

5. Now Open IIS Manager and restrat IIS or at the command prompt Type IISRESET so that the Chages will take place.

6. From the command prompt Run the command attrib +s %windir%\tasks so that the view goes back to default

7. Do the above Steps on all the SharePoint servers in the Farm
