Large indexes and live search

Okay so the test machine is win2k and the \\evergreen\corp network share is a set of DFS directories. The test box works fine walking the share.

The production box is win 2003 server. It will not walk the share from the root for some reason. I have to tell it to start inside of a directory deeper in the tree which is obviously not what I want.

I have no idea why the prod box worked the first time and now doesn't.

There appears to be a difference between win2k and 2003 when it comes to Texis indexing DFS shares.

Which version of texis is running on the machine which has the problem (output of texis -version)?

Are any of the links in the DFS root invalid, or is there a difference in user that Texis is running as?

Texis Web Script (Vortex) Copyright (c) 1996-2006 Thunderstone - EPI, Inc.
Commercial Version 5.01.1137083200 20060112 (i686-intel-winnt-64-32)

Same user account from the domain is being used on both machines.

There are about 5 folders in the root which my account (don't know about the indexing account) can't access. I'm trying to find out if they are invalid or if it is just a permissions thing. Will an invalid link cause the walk to not work?

In our tests an invalid link doesn't cause the walk to fail, but we also can't figure out exactly how the error message you quote would be produced, as there should be more to the message.
