MOSS: Shared Service Provider Search Service Error
I recently lost a search and index server (virtual server) due to a virtual host server eating dirt.
I had some issues with getting the services transfered, since I also made the mistake of only have central administration running on the same box that was lost.
After moving the services, and hoping it worked to no avail, i pulled the hard drives out of the old host machine and moved the VM to another host server.
Even after restoring, there were still some issues.
When I tried to access the Search properties of the SSP to see what was wrong, I received:An indexer is not assigned to the Shared Services Provider.
I fixed the problem by assigning an indexer to the SSP. Not exactly sure how it happened that the indexer was never assigned, but here are the steps:
1. Open Central Administration
2. Go to the Application tab
3. Select “Create or Manage this farm’s shared services”
4. Use drop-down list for the SSP, select Edit Properties
5. Assign an indexer server
