At random times on Windows Server 2012r2 x64, usually after rebooting, I would get a warning from the Windows Search Service (xxx added to make the error less specific):<\/p>\n

Crawl could not be completed on content source <winrt:\/\/{S-1-5-21-24xxxxxx66-12xxxxx84-2xxxxxxxx9-1001}\/>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Context:\u00a0 Application, SystemIndex Catalog<\/em><\/p>\n

Details:<\/em>
\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The parameter is incorrect.\u00a0 (HRESULT : 0x80070057) (0x80070057)<\/em><\/p>\n

The solution for me to fix this warning was to go into the group policy editor and add the offending folder to the default excluded paths list.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Run gpedit.msc<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. In Local Group Policy Editor<\/em>, Select Computer Configuration<\/em> -> Administrative Templates<\/em> -> Windows Components<\/em> -> Search.<\/em><\/li>\n
  3. In Search<\/em>, double click on Default excluded paths<\/em>.<\/li>\n
  4. In Default Excluded Paths<\/em>, First select Enabled<\/em> in the upper left corner. Then click on the\u00a0 Show…<\/em> button next to ‘Default Excluded Paths’. <\/em><\/li>\n
  5. In Show Contents<\/em>, add “winrt:\/\/{S-1-5-21-24xxxxxx66-12xxxxx84-2xxxxxxxx9-1001<\/em>}\/” (without quotes) and then click OK<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Next force Windows Search Service to re-index.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Stop the service using services.msc<\/em> – Windows Searc<\/em>h or from Administrator: Command Prompt<\/em> – net stop wsearch<\/li>\n
    2. Edit the registry key HKLM\/Software\/Microsoft\/Windows\/Search\/SetupCompletedSuccessfully <\/em>and set it to 0<\/li>\n
    3. Start the service using services.msc<\/em> – Windows Search<\/em> or from Administrator: Command Prompt<\/em> – net start wsearch<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
