only reason I'm trying to set it up is XP's indexing service
I've provided sworn affidavits about the quality of Windows Search (see my sig block).
I suggest you not depend on it.

---- And your suggestion for anything that indexes network disks and integrates into win7's search as a replacement?
I.e. anything that is more reliable?
I don't know how well it integrates, but the pseudo low-cost tool of choice in my industry is DTsearch. It handles a lot of different file types and targets users outside the legal market space, so it should be a reasonable choice for you to look at. http://www.dtsearch.com/index.html I've only ever used the DTsearch Desktop version, and even that was years ago. I did run a few TB of data through it I'm sure. No real problems except it was relatively slow at index creation. Maybe 10GB / hr for standard docs and 1 GB/hr for PSTs. Again that was 5 years ago so everything is faster now, but GB counts of data to be searched has also exploded. ===> higher end options that I doubt fit your need I use NUIX for most searching these days. They have a $100 version that caps out at 15GB (prooffinder) of indexed data. Their first real intro version which has no data cap is $7K. With it we create indexes at about 100GB/24 hours. I doubt it is appropriate for what you want anyway, but you can see the good quality search tools can be expensive. My favorite searching tool is actually Index Engines, but they have a enterprise search pricing model that gets you to 6 figures in a hurry. The huge advantage of Index Engines is it is blindingly fast. They claim index creation speeds of up to 800 GB/hr if your NAS can send it to them that fast. (Not many can). I have a 5 year old version of Index Engines and I've seen in create indexes at almost 200GB/hr, so I don't doubt the new generation is considerably faster.
