Hi All, I have a unique problem, when users search there emails through OWA they are not able to see the mails for past week, however they are able to see emails past that week, ie.; this weeks mails not showing in OWA search result however rest of the earlier mails are showing. When i ran the command: test-exchangesearch user i get the results as false and -1 Now i know that search is not enabled for this mailbox user. I want to know the following:- 1) How to see if the search / indexing for emails is working on whole DB / storage group / all mailboxes 2) how to enable / disable indexing for a particular mailbox This is urgent please Thank youApoorv Mehrotra

Does it works in Outlook? Is it DAG environment or stand alone server? Issue could be with Content Indexing!Gulab Prasad, My Blog | Z-Hire Employee Provisioning App

I did not check in outlook as this user always checks through OWA. I am using 2007 exchange I have deleted the previous by following the below process:- 1) Stop Microsoft Exchange Search Index 2) Delete the current index with resetsearchindex.ps1 firstdb and then the Microsoft exchange search service automatically started Than i ran the command Set-MailboxDatabase firstdb -indexenabled:$true and checked that the index state is now enabled for the entire DB but the search is still showing disabled for the particular user using command test-exchangesearch mailbox still the results were false and -1Apoorv Mehrotra

and just now i ended up deleting the catalog for both my storage groups.. how much time it should take to build the entire index catalog for both DB?Apoorv Mehrotra
