SYMPTOMS
When you have multiple Web sites on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003-based computer, you may find that the Microsoft Index Server catalogs for each site and uses a lot of disk space.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the Index Server uses a separate catalog for each Web site that you create on a server, and this may use a lot of disk space when you have multiple Web sites on a Windows Server 2003-based computer.



RESOLUTION
This problem was fixed in Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1).



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.



MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft recommends that Web Presence Providers (WPP) of Microsoft FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions (FPSE) on Windows Server 2003-based computers use Index Server to provide search capabilities. Wide Area Information Service (WAIS) search functionality is not included in FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions for Windows Server 2003-based computers.

FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions on Windows Server 2003-based computers that are running Index Server do not support Uniform Naming Convention (UNC) redirection.

The feature for indexing multiple sites in a single catalog, Access Control List (ACL) trimming and search capabilities over Distributed File System (DFS)/UNC is available in Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and Microsoft Windows SharePoint Team Services (STS) 1.0 Service Pack 3 (SP3).
