Vista/2008 SP2 or Search 4.0 installed: Configure the policy value for Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Search “Enable indexing uncached Exchange folders” to “Disabled”. Prior to Vista/2008 SP2 or Search 4.0 installation, the policy name is “Prevent indexing uncached Exchange folders” and will be set to “Enabled”. The registry Value Name and Value referenced in the manual check remain the same.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
