Summary

This SharePoint Search 2010 (SPSearch2010) Diagnostic is designed to detect certain problematic conditions that may exist in the configuration of the server that is running Microsoft SharePoint Server. The rules in this diagnostic package are limited to SharePoint Searching, Crawling, and Related Activities.

Important The problematic conditions are checked only on the server on which this manifest is executed. To make sure that you have maximum coverage, we recommend that you run SPSearch2010 on each computer in the Microsoft SharePoint farm.

This article explains the operation of this diagnostic package.

Required permissions

The rules in the diagnostic package leverage the SharePoint Windows PowerShell snap-in to get information about your farm. Therefore, the account that is used to run the diagnostic package must either be the farm account or have been given the required permissions through the Add-SPShellAdmin
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff607596.aspx)
command. Note that the farm account is the account under which the timer service and central administration site's application pool are running.

Some rules in this diagnostic package also must have local server administrative privileges to leverage remote and local administrative tools and also to access secure system locations such as the registry. The following table can be used to reference the permissions that are required for each rule.
