Hi,

Does Verity Search able to index files (pdf, xls, doc) from network drive(s)? If it does, what should I do in order to index files from mapped drive?

Thanks,
Andy

    I dunno. But the first thing I'd do if I needed to know would be to give
    it a go and see what happened. And if it didn't work, and couldn't work
    out why, then I might post what I'd tried so far on a forum, and ask for
    help work out what's wrong.

    I wouldn't do those steps in the reverse order though (which it seems like
    you might be doing, on the basis of the info you've given us).

    I'd possibly start by reading the docs on the various Verity tags and areas
    of functionality that are provided with CF.

    What makes you think you need to do anything different with a
    network-stored file to a locally stored file?

    I would presume so, if it can see those network resources. Which means
    that the Verity Search Windows Service|Unix ???? would need to run under
    a domain user that has permission to see the desired network resource.

    Which in Windows, means changing what the user the service runs under to
    something other the 'localsystem' in the services control panel.
