PRB: Engine service does not process any email (Windows Search enabled)

Expand / Collapse


This article applies to:

  • Trustwave MailMarshal (SEG) 7.0 and above
  • Trustwave ECM/MailMarshal Exchange 7.X

Symptoms:

  • Messages queue in the "Incoming" queue folder
  • No messages are processed by the Engine service

Causes:

  • Windows Search is enabled on the processing node server.
  • When the Windows Search service is enabled on SEG or ECM processing servers, it can lock files in the incoming queue folder.
  • The Engine service is unable to retrieve or process the email from the incoming queue folder.

Resolution:

To resolve this issue, disable Windows Search on all SEG or ECM processing servers.

  • Open the Windows Services control panel.
  • Locate the service labelled "Windows Search."
  • Stop and disable this service. 

Alternatively you could add exclusions to the search service. Exclude all folders that must be excluded from virus scanning. See article Q10850.

Notes:

  • The "Windows Search" service is not installed by default on Windows 2008 and 2012 servers.
  • This issue could also affect the unpacking and quarantine folders, or any folder where files are frequently created, quickly accessed and deleted.
