The Rebuild Interval Setting Is Missing From the Full-Text Indexing Tab (813931)

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, install a version of Exchange System Manager that has not been altered by Exchange 2000 Server SP2, or use ADSI Edit to change and verify the rebuild style and the rebuild schedule.

Note If you set the rebuild interval before you applied Exchange 2000 Server SP2, the rebuild style and rebuild schedule attributes are unchanged, and rebuilds continue to occur. Exchange 2000 Server SP2 only removes the Rebuild Interval interface.

Install Exchange System Manager

To install a version of Exchange System Manager that has not been altered by Exchange 2000 Server SP2:

1. Insert the Exchange 2000 Server installation CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive of your computer that is running Exchange 2000 Server. If the installation program does not start, double-click the Launch.exe file on the Exchange 2000 Server CD-ROM or network share that contains the installation files.

8. Click Exchange Server Set-up.
9. Under Component Selection, click to select the Exchange Server 2000 check box on the Action column, and then click Change.
10. On the Action column, click to select the Microsoft Exchange System Management Tools check box, and then click Install.
11. Click Next two times.
12. When you receive the message that states that Service Pack 2 has been previously installed and should be re-applied, click OK.
13. Click Finish.
14. Start Exchange System Manager.
15. In the Organization branch, expand Administrative Groups/First Administrative Group/Servers/ Your_Server_Name/First Storage Group.
16. Right-click Public Folder Store, and then click Properties.

Use ADSI Edit to Set Rebuild Style and Rebuild Schedule

ADSI Edit is available in Windows Support Tools.

For additional information about how to install Windows 2000 Support Tools, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
Warning If you use the ADSI Edit snap-in, and you incorrectly modify the attributes of Active Directory objects, you can cause serious problems. These problems may require you to reinstall Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, Exchange 2000 Server, or both. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems that occur if you incorrectly modify Active Directory object attributes can be solved. Modify these attributes at your own risk.

Set the Rebuild Style

To use ADSI Edit to set the rebuild style:

1. Start ADSI Edit.
2. Expand the Configuration Container folder tree to the following location:

   Configuration Container/CN=Configuration/CN=Services/CN=Microsoft Exchange/CN=First Organization/CN=Administrative Groups/CN=First Administrative Group/CN=Servers/CN=Your_Server_Name/CN=Information Store/CN=First Storage Group

   .
3. Click CN=First Storage Group. In the right pane, right-click CN=Public Folder Store, and then click Properties.
4. In the Select a property to view box, click msExchCIRebuildStyle.
5. Check the value in the Value box. A value of 0 means never run. A value of 1 means run according to the schedule.
6. To change the value to 1, click Clear. In the Edit Attribute box, type 1.
7. Click Set, and then click Apply.

Set the Rebuild Schedule

After you have set the rebuild to occur, you must set the rebuild schedule. To set the rebuild schedule:

1. In the Select a property to view box, click msExchCIRebuildSchedule .
2. The value syntax is an OctetString that contains pairs of hexadecimal numbers. There are a total of 82 pairs. You can set the schedule by changing the following OctetString:
   • To set the schedule to never run, set all the pairs of hexadecimal numbers to 0x00.
   • To set the schedule to Friday midnight, change the 64th pair to 0x80.
   • To set the schedule to Saturday midnight , change the 76th pair to 0x80.
   • To set the schedule to Sunday midnight, change the 4th pair to 0x80.
3. To change a hexadecimal pair value, click Clear. In the Edit Attribute box, find the hexadecimal pair that you want to edit, and then type the correct value for that pair.
   
   Warning Change the value for only one pair. All other pairs must be 0x00.
4. Click Set, click Apply, and then click OK.
5. Quit ADSI Edit.
