2. Nice catch! I had this fix an issue that I was having with search function, but I am not sure it is necessarily Windows Server 2003 SP1 that caused the issue. It may be related to .Net Framework 3.5 or .NetFramework 3.5 SP1 as those were the updates I made to the server before the search died.

8. You saved my day dude!!!

   After setting the DWORD Key in the registry i rebooted and then it saied “Service Unavailable” when starting the central administration web site.

   Only after starting the configuration wizard it was ok again, and the crawler works fine now.

9. This works on Windows 2008, as well. I did IISreset instead of reboot, and that got my search going.

   I am concerned that I’m defeating a built-in security feature and will have to research more to see how serious this is.

11. Confirmed that this works on Windows 2008 R2 64bit.

    Note: This change is required on the IIS server and not the SQL Server. Took me a while to figure that out….
