Outlook 2013 search and non-peristent pools

Hi,

We are using VMware View 5.3 and are using non-persistent floating pools with refresh at logoff,

We have Windows 8.1 desktops in a 2012 domain. The user profiles is roamed to a file server during logon and logoff. (Because we use View 5.3.3 we cannot use persona management for Windows 8.1).

Windows search indexing service is disabled, but we are considering turning it on to get better Outlook 2013 search.

But how will Outlook/Windows search indexing behave with roaming profiles and refresh at logoff? Will the metadata indexing files be saved in appdata(roaming profiles) or is it saved locally on the computer? If its only saved locally then the Outlook 2013 indexing is reset after each logoff and this will not work in practise.

There is also some changes in Outlook indexing between 2010 and 2013 version.

Hi prime_id2,

have you considered using a third party tool like Lookeen. As you said you don't know whether the index will remain or be refreshed as well. E.g. with Lookeen you save the indexed files in a network location so you don't lose the indexes after logoff and refresh. I guess there are also other tools out there who can help you with this problem.

Best regards.
