RDS Server Install Best Practice
Posted: Thu Feb 22, 2024 3:30 pm
We are testing out Everything for our office environment but couldn't figure out the best practice for RDS uses.
The server install document I found is for configuring Everything to run on a File Server and users on the network can use it from the indexes built on the server rather than each user station indexing the network share which can be quite taxing work when working with over 2 TB of files.
I am hoping to get some advise on installing Everything on RDS server and each users logging into RDS session can use it without doing their own configuration.
We don't need to index C:\ and just some folder on local drive on the RDS server. In this case, what is the best practice? All volumes are NTFS.
To be more specific, is it better to utilize
Method1: Options > Indexes > NTFS >
Check "Include in database" for the drive we want to search and specify the folders,
Check "Enable USN Journal",
Check "Monitor Changes"
OR
Method2: Options > Indexes > Folders > (While nothing checked under NTFS)
Add folders,
Check "Index subfolders",
Check "Attempt to monitor changes"
Check "Fast Rescan"
Set "rescan" dates and times
If there is are any other recommendation, please let me know.
Thank you!
