Indexes with failed items in them.

Hi all,

So on a support case the topic of failed items in indexes has come up. Out of a user population of 8000 we had around 600 archives with indexes with failed items in them. I think this is just because we have never tackled this before.

So I ran the below SQL query to fetch them all and I will work through them in the coming days.

USE EnterpriseVaultDirectory

SELECT IV.FailedItems AS 'IVFailedItems', IV.FolderName AS 'IV.FolderName', EME.MbxDisplayName AS 'EME.MbxDisplayName'

FROM EnterpriseVaultDirectory.dbo.IndexVolume AS IV, EnterpriseVaultDirectory.dbo.ExchangeMailboxEntry AS EME

WHERE IV.FolderName = EME.DefaultVaultId

AND IV.FailedItems is not null

AND IV.FailedItems > '0'

GROUP BY IV.FolderName, IV.FailedItems, EME.MbxDisplayName

ORDER BY EME.MbxDisplayName

I guess my question is: Does anyone thing this is a significant issue? Or does anyone know of any issues which are caused by this?

Thanks,

Jeremy.
