The AdminIndexServer object manages the indexing service itself, including the collection of catalogs that identify the documents to be indexed. This object also provides methods to detect whether the indexing service is currently running and to start and stop it programmatically.

Methods

Remarks

Although you can manage many aspects of Indexing Service while it is running, you must stop the service to create catalogs with the AddCatalog method or delete catalogs with RemoveCatalog. To determine whether Indexing Service is running, use IsRunning. To stop the service, use the Stop method, make any additions or deletions necessary, and begin the service again using the Start method. Additional information about configuring catalogs can be found through the Help command on the Start menu on the main taskbar under the topic Other Tools.

If multiple instances of the AdminIndexServer object are created, changes made to one instance do not propagate to the other running instances. For example, if you have two instances of the AdminIndexServer object running and invoke the AddCatalog method of one object, the other AdminIndexServer object doesn't know about the newly added catalog. New instances of this object are created with the most current information.

The programmatic identifier (ProgID) in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Classes for the administration object in ciodm.dll is Microsoft.ISAdm.1. The version-independent ProgID is Microsoft.ISAdm. The Indexing Service administration object implementation is enabled for apartment and free threading.

This object supports IErrorInfo to report errors.

Registry entries currently in use by Indexing Service can be found under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/ContentIndex.

Example

Set objISAdmin = CreateObject("Microsoft.ISAdm")
