Fixed : Failed to determine if the store is in the crawl scope

This PC was showing various errors when loading applications such as Outlook, Word etc.

An example error was “not enough quota for this operation”.

In the event log – the following could be found:

Failed to determine if the store is in the crawl scope (error=0x8001010d).

There were also several errors relating to Windows Search which lead me to the following solution which involves rebuilding the WDS index:

Stop Indexing service “cmd: net stop wsearch” and check in TaskManager’s process list that SearchIndexer.exe was really stopped.

Delete %SystemDrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows (Vista) or %AllUsersProfile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows (XP) folder with all its files and subfolders.

Delete the following registry keys:
– “HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows Search\Applications\windows”
– “HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows Search\CatalogName\windows”
– “HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows Search\Databases\windows”
– “HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows Search\Gather\windows”
– “HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows Search\Gathering manager\Applications\windows”
– “HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows Search\UsnNotifier\windows”
You’ll have to change reg key ownership and change permission first.

In registry in key “HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows Search” switch “SetupCompletedSuccessfully” subkey to “0” – you’ll have to change reg key ownership and change permission first.

Start Indexing service back “cmd: net start wsearch”

Wait until “SetupCompletedSuccessfully” subkey switch back to 1. If it’s still “0” after 5 minutes, it means the setup is failed again.
