16964 09:16:55.159 [38884] (StorageCrawler) <68212> EV:M CFetchAheadThread::Shutdown [20] threads

Cause

When some or all of the StorageCrawler worked threads receive a failure HRESULT code from the MAPIInitialize() call, this error code is treated as a major failure, causing the underlying thread to terminate and invariably resulting in shutdown of the StorageCrawler process. Further to it no indexing occurs during this period of time until the Storage & Indexing Services on the affected servers are re-started.

Resolution

This issue has been addressed in the following release.

Enterprise Vault 12.3.2 Release
