We recently installed SP2. Now, when we go to Site Collection > Site Settings > Scopes > View Scopes, we get an Access Denied error when we click "Add rules". This worked pre-SP2 as far as I know...

Are you able to get to any of the Search settings page like Search Settings or Search Keywords. Are you able to get to the Scopes page from the SSP in CA. Does the user account you are using hace access to the SSP application pages? Can you try accessing it using farm administrator account? if you test these you should be able to tell what is wrong. HTH Nagesh S Days and years do not mean anything to me. Moments shared are frozen in their time frame. Distance or time never fades them for me. I cherish them like my life. I have never let them sleep alone. Sachi

Hi, Add scope rule: Browse to the central administration site. Click on the Shared Service Provider (SSP) for the site. Click on Search settings Click on View Scopes. Click on Edit Properties and rules for the scope "All Documents". Click on New Rule. Add a property query rule where the property IsDocument=1 and set the scope behavior to require and click OK. I wish you every success in your important work. Best regards, David Hu
