Question :- Can anybody explain me the full text indexing feature in details?? ... if i enable it...can it affect my normal setup??.....

Answer :- The information store creates and manages indexes for common key fields for faster lookups and searches. When you enable full-text indexing, the index is built before the client search, thus permitting faster searches. Full-text indexing makes it easy for Outlook users to search for documents, including text attachments, in the information store. Each information store can be indexed individually for flexibility.

Property promotion allows for advanced searches on any document property, such as Author, Lines, or Document Subject . When Exchange stores a document in a supported file type, the document's properties are automatically parsed and promoted to the information store. Hence, the properties become a part of the document's record in the database. Searches can then be performed on these properties.

This feature offers outstanding flexibility. You can build your indexes around those attributes that are most important in your document management structure and expose those attributes for fast searches to your clients.

The index is word-based, not character-based. This characteristic means that if a user performs a search for the word "admin," only those documents that have the word "admin" will be returned. The word "administrator" will not be identified as a match. Both the message and attachments can be indexed. Binary attachments and document properties are not indexed. Not all file types are indexed either; the following documents are the only types that are indexed:

<>· <>Word documents (*.doc)

<>· <>Excel documents (*.xls)

<>· <>PowerPoint documents (*.ppt)

<>· <>HTML documents (*.html, *.htm, *.asp)

<>· <>Text files (*.txt)

<>· <>Embedded MIME messages (*.eml)

Indexing is provided by the Microsoft Search service. Both the information store service and the search service must be running for the index to be created, updated, or deleted. Depending on the size of your store, completing a full index could take hours. Therefore, it's best to have this activity occur at a time when your server will be underutilized. Remember that indexing consumes about 20 percent of the disk space of your database. Also, individual indexes cannot be backed up; they must be backed up at the server level. Finally, even though multiple instances of a message might be held in the database, the message is indexed only once. This single-instance message indexing results in smaller indexes that can be created more quickly.

Scheduled updates allow granular control over when the index is updated. The advantage of scheduling the index update is that it can be planned for off-peak hours when the server is not heavily accessed by users. The disadvantage is that the index can become out-of-date over the course of a day. However, this may not be a big problem, since most users search for documents that were received and indexed more than 24 hours before the search. Try to schedule your updates to occur at least once each day.

Automatic updates will keep the index up-to-date. Changes to documents are queued for a short period of time, and then the index is updated. All changes that are made during the wait period are incorporated into the index as a batch job. The disadvantage of automatic updates is that you cannot control when server resources are used to perform the index update. If your store is becoming increasingly busy—meaning that an increasing number of documents are being posted, deleted, or changed—the server will expend more resources to keep the index up-to-date. It's best to configure automatic indexing on stores in which documents change infrequently, or on servers that are not heavily used for purposes other than document management and indexing.

VMware Workstation works by enabling multiple operating systems and their applications to run concurrently on a single physical machine. These operating systems and applications are isolated in secure virtual machines that co-exist on a single piece of hardware. The VMware virtualization layer maps the physical hardware resources to the virtual machine's resources, so each virtual machine has its own CPU, memory, disks, I/O devices, etc. Virtual machines are the full equivalent of a standard x86 machine. VMware Workstation enables enterprise software developers to develop and test the most complex networked server-class applications running on Windows, Linux or NetWare all on a single desktop.
