My current environment is a follows:
Horizon 7.4
Instant Clones
App volumes v.2.13.2.13
User Environment 9.3
I have spun up Windows 7 64b SP1 instant Clones and am all in with the above and writeable volumes.
I created a slew off app stacks including Office 2013 and Office 2016.
Using UEM 9.3 I created the OST redirection using the App Volumes option under the user environment. The OST is being created/redirected into the 'C:\SnapVolumesTemp\writeable\UEM\OST' folder.
I have also modified the writeable volume according to this KB: VMware Knowledge Base "Outlook Search Indexing with App Volumes (2149799)" and uploaded the zip file which I verified is being used in the writeable volume assigned to my user.
For the life of me Outlook will not index using windows search. It will not pop up as an Index Location under the Indexing Option within Windows. Therefore searching for outlook items inside the OST take a long time and my user are really picky with their Outlook search. They want to see the search term highlighted for each hit. let alone get the hits back instantly. This only occurs if indexing within windows search is working correctly. For Outlook 2013 or 2016 it's not.
Anyone have any ideas as to what I may be missing? Anyone else come across this and fixed the issue or worked around it. Is it a bug with App Volumes app stacks and/or the writeable volume?
Online mode would be a last resort but I would likely have a revolt.
Thank you,
