Got this error while starting the full crawl on Local Office Sharepoint Server Sites (default content source)

The resolution for this was to add the following registry key

1) Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2) In Registry Editor, locate and then click the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
3) Right-click Lsa, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
4) Type DisableLoopbackCheck, and then press ENTER.
5) Right-click DisableLoopbackCheck, and then click Modify.
6) In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
7) Quit Registry Editor, and then restart your computer.

    Confirmed that this works on Windows 2008 R2 64bit.

    Note: This change is required on the IIS server and not the SQL Server. Took me a while to figure that out….

      Was it the only thing you did? Because I can’t make it working with WIndows Sever 2008 R2 and Search Server 2010 :( Still the same error message :(

    This works on Windows 2008, as well. I did IISreset instead of reboot, and that got my search going.

    I am concerned that I’m defeating a built-in security feature and will have to research more to see how serious this is.

    You saved my day dude!!!

    After setting the DWORD Key in the registry i rebooted and then it saied “Service Unavailable” when starting the central administration web site.

    Only after starting the configuration wizard it was ok again, and the crawler works fine now.

    Something that can cause so much headache remedied in seconds. Great find!

  12. Tanzil Malek says:

    Yes, it resolved the issues for me. I agree the problem relates to .Net Framework 3.5 SP1.

  13. Matt says:

    Nice catch! I had this fix an issue that I was having with search function, but I am not sure it is necessarily Windows Server 2003 SP1 that caused the issue. It may be related to .Net Framework 3.5 or .NetFramework 3.5 SP1 as those were the updates I made to the server before the search died.

    Thanks! I think I love you.
