SUMMARY

After crawling an Exchange Server public folder, you may notice that security changes made to public folder documents are not recognized by Site Server Search, even after full or incremental builds are run.


MORE INFORMATION

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys and Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it. If you are running Windows NT, you should also update your Emergency Repair Disk (ERD).


Site Server Search refreshes Exchange Server public folder security in eight-hour increments. To change this time interval, go to the following registry key:

KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Site Server\3.0\Search\Exchange
Add a DWORD value of CacheMinutes. The minimum value of this key is 15, which can cause the security settings to be refreshed every 15 minutes.
