WDS v3 gets the support, but Microsoft has disabled the support of UNC indexing in WDS v4, even the Windows Search in Windows 7. There're a lot of discussion about how to overcome this step-down functionality ( http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itpronetworking/thread/afb904c1-1c61-4aae-b6b1-5cf525b9f8de/ ). There is a simple way. Go to http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?DisplayLang=en&id=3383 to download a patch called UNCFATPHInstaller.msi . Although the KB states that the patch works only for Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista and Windows XP, it actually does work for Windows 7. After patching, the WDS v4 will recognize OTFS protocol handler, as seen in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. You could now specify indexing location in Group Policy, which format stated in ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732491(WS.10).aspx ) Please noted that the patch only supports 32 bit.
