Rebuilding Exchange Search Index
I have a few users that cannot use the serach index in OWA. When I try to rebuild the corrupted indexes this is the error message I am getting: [PS] C:\>ResetSearchIndex.ps1 [-force] -allGet-MailboxDatabase : The operation could not be performed because object '[-force]' could not be found on domain controller 'gwlcdc2.GWLC.COM'.At C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Scripts\ResetSearchIndex.ps1:81 char:36+ $mbdbList+= (get-mailboxdatabase <<<< $a).NameWARNING: Waiting for service 'Microsoft Exchange Search Indexer(MSExchangeSearch)' to finish stopping...MSExchangeSearch service stopped removing: C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Mailbox\Moderate Storage Group\CatalogData-bb04a98e-27b2-42f4-88e5-d06b3e69f4ae-cc64dd2d-2428-4f12-bba2-79d6d34c4d27 Can anyone help? Thanks, Tim

Tim, Stop the Microsoft Exchange Search service, delete the search index (you can find this in the directory of the mailstore)and then start the Microsoft Exchange Search service. Regards, Johan
