Windows Desktop Search on Terminal Servers


Recommended Posts

Good morning!

 

I wanted to ask what the general consensus is with respect to deploying the

'latest and greatest' Windows Desktop Search software running on Terminal

Server.

 

Just to be clear - my opinion is that it really affects performance (in a

negative way).

 

Assuming that others have the same opinion is there anything that can be

done (outside of removing it...).

 

Thanks,

 

Cary

I'd agree that it's a negative. Worse yet, as I recall, I was forced in to

installing it for Office 2007. If not, the users would be constantly nagged

to install it. I hate all these stupid attempts at index based searching

(ms, google, etc). They hog too many resources for something that only gets

used once in a while.

 

If you find that have to live with it, the best you can do is to minimize

the stuff it indexes (see the options for it).

Anthony,

 

I will do and will let you know how that goes.

 

I guess that my follow question (rhetorical) would be - setting the options:

per user setting or global setting?

 

I will figure that out when I do this....

Heavens, no way.... Last thing I would want on a TS server is something

that is constantly taking up cycles...
