No I understand
What I am saying is, the Windows Search is what does the indexing, outlook works directly with it. For some reason outlook couldn't pull any results from it. So once you rebuilt the index for outlook it was fine.
What I am trying to find out, is what repair in the program had a side effect with it. None of the repairs target Search or Office, BUT MS products always rely on so many other things in the system, just like the firewall relies on WMI and many others. I dont think i have seen a MS product that ran on its own without relying on something else, service or otherwise lol.
So my goal is to find what. So far I thinking MAYBE the Repair WMI, only because WMI is used by so many things in Windows and MS. I dont change anything in the Windows server, and as you seen the indexing for the reset of the system was fine, it was only outlook. Almost like outlook couldn't talk to the search until you started a reindex.
What version of Outlook by the way? I want to google and see if I can find out how outlook talks to the Windows search, that might lead me in the right direction
Oh and anything in the event viewer that might help?
