    How to eliminate Event code 3036 warning


    My Windows 7-64-bit machine is reporting an event 3036 warning each time the WSearch service is started. Although benign, I would like to be able to fix this issue. I have searched the internet for a solution and have come up empty handed Here are the details:

    Event type: Application
    Source: Search
    Event ID: 3036
    Level: Warning
    Event Source: Windows Search Service
    Context: Application, Systemindex catalog
    Details: The object was not found. (HRESULT : 0x80041201) (0x80041201)
    The content source csc://s-1-5-21-287814290-815585838-4093042447-1000 cannot be accessed

    If anyone knows how to eliminate this event, please let me know.

    Hello and Welcome !

    Go to Start | Regedit | Then Ctrl + F then type in the Reg ID S-1-5-21-287814290-815585838-4093042447-1000 see if you find a Key. If you find it give full permission. Follow this article Grant Read Write (Full Control) Permissions on Registry Keys (Fix Cannot Import and Access Denied Error in RegEdit) » My Digital Life if you didn't find the Key then run SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    Hope this helps,
    Captain

    OK. I have a work around but I don't believe it's a fix.

    On another forum site someone said that the CSC in the event stood for "Client Side Caching" and that if I turned off indexing of Offline Files then the warning message would go away. It did.

    I'm still a bit perplexed by the event and perhaps someone can shed more light on this. From what I gather if you do want to work on off-line files then a copy of the file would be stored somewhere on my PC which I assume to be the C:\Windows\CSC folder and the way I had it set up before the search service was attempting to index any offline files stored in that folder. I would also "assume" that it you have never had a need to work with offline files then the CSC folder would be empty therefore nothing to index. But, the warning was not that there was nothing to index the warning was that something could not be accessed. What I'm "assuming" is that the underlying problem still exists and that it I found the real cause of the access issue then the step taken to turn off caching of offline files would be unnecessary. So, even though I have a work around I would really still like to determine what the issue is so if anyone has any next steps I'd appreciate the help.

    I have a solution but I''m not sure that I understand why things were the way they were.
    To make a long story short I tried drilling down into the CSC folder and in the only subfolder in CSC I was denied access but when I looked at the security it said that there wasn't even an owner of the folder so I took ownership. I then drilled down into that folder and found 2 more folders that had no owners either so I took ownership of those two. Note that taking ownership was the only thing I did. I then when back into the indexing function in control panel, turned on indexing on the off line folders restarted my system and NO Warning. Seems that no ownership was the issue which I'm not not going to try and figure out because I won't find an answer to that anyway.

    I changed the permissions on the CSC folder, and subfolders v2.0.6, namespace, and temp folders as suggested by ‘Moondoggy’ above and restarting the Windows Search service, but the system still logs the same Event ID 3036 message.

    I also followed the suggestion made by ‘Capt.Jack Sparrow’ above and opening RegEdit and searching for ‘csc://{S-1-5-21-3665831002-2378558863-465300187-1001}/’, and it found the following registry keys:

    Find_1: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Search\ProcessedSearchRoots\0002

    Find_2: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\CrawlScopeManager\Windows\SystemIndex\DefaultRules\18

    Find_3: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\CrawlScopeManager\Windows\SystemIndex\SearchRoots\0

    Find_4: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\CrawlScopeManager\Windows\SystemIndex\WorkingSetRules\24

    Find_5: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\Gather\Windows\SystemIndex\Sites\{S-1-5-21-3665831002-2378558863-465300187-1001}\Paths\0

    Find_6: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\Gather\Windows\SystemIndex\StartPages\13

    Find_7: HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-3665831002-2378558863-465300187-1001\Software\Microsoft\Windows Search\ProcessedSearchRoots\0002

    Finished searching through the registry.

    Now the question is which of these seven registry keys do I change to give full permission?

    Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
