Hello,
i migrated some files (around 1,5TB) from 2008 R2 to 2012 R2 with Robocopy. Installed file services, created namespace, verified permissions. Then i tried to redirect user folder to this location, from old one. For new profiles it links just fine - for ones that were linked to previous location, it wont redirect as it says that there are access problems. I cant add it manually to the documents library either - it says the target location is not indexed.
In old configuration we were using offline files, now we want to get rid of this feature. I searched the web for solution, but couldnt find one. Some said to index my share - so i tried. I get errors 7040 (damaged files in index) and 7042 (windows search is being stopped, because problem with indexer occured: the catalog is corrupt). Then it rebuilds from scratch - which process takes HELL LOT OF TIME (30-40hours). Then crashes / ? and starts all over again. Cant find any logs to waht exactly is causing index corrutpion. The same problem is described here: http://www.networksteve.com/forum/topic.php/Windows_Search_indexing_limits/?TopicId=113606&Posts=1
unfortunately without solution. I need a solution for the problem - recreating profiles of over 200 users is not appealing at all, but its the only perspective i see for now.
Clients are Windows 10 10586, soon updated to Anniverasry (but tested it also with anniversary machine, same problem).
