I have a new SharePoint SSP, but not without some pain...
Categories:
Since my last post I have been trying to resolve a search error which was stopping the index from being updated.
It was one of those helpful 0x80020009 errors. After 2 nights of no progress in getting search to index new content I though I would just create a new SSP and start again. Only problem was that every time I tried to create a new SSP, the admin site not render properly and any link requiring javascript would not work (almost everything).
To cut a long story short, it was a bug in an HTTP Module that was part of the CKS:EBE. Don't ask me why this module was loaded in the web.config file of the SSP site collection when the feature was not active on that site, but I'm glad I check this file line for line with a VPC image.
Now I just have to configure all my search settings (property mappings, crawling rule exclusions for all the template sites, scopes) again and add the PDC definitions for the My Site templates.
