Everything server: automatic index update for SMB shares

[cwt]

Hi!

Long time "quiet" reader, this is my first post.

I recently installed the "server" of Everything from the actual Alpha. I added some network shares (for example: \\server1\share , \\server2\blabla) to the index and clients can connect and search within it when connecting to it via "Network Index", so this is not a problem.

How can I update the index every X hours without starting the software on the server, running it "headless"? The server is running as a service, configured as described in your howto. But it doesn't recognize changes on the indexed shares automatically.

Thanks in advance.

The Everything Client Service normally runs as "LOCAL SYSTEM"

"LOCAL SYSTEM" does not have access to remote shares.



Please try changing the Service Log On Account:

• From the Start menu, search for:
  services
• Right click Services and click Run as administrator.
• In Services, double click Everything Client
• Click the Log On tab.
• Check This account.
• Set the account name and password.
• For example:
  .\standarduser
  .\adminuser
  domainname\adminuser
  An admin account is required if you are indexing NTFS/ReFS volumes.
  A standard account can be used if you are only indexing remote shares.
• Click OK.
• Restart the Everything Client service.
