It's pretty simple to add XPS indexing/support to a SharePoint 2010 search, but even so some people struggle. So just to make things real easy for you, I created a PowerShell script.
What you need to do:
- Logon to the server that's running SharePoint Server Search 14
- Copy the PowerShell script from below (some of it runs under right navigation)
- Paste it in to a text file > save as whatever.ps1.
- Run the PowerShell script.
Import-Module servermanager
$xps = Get-WindowsFeature XPS-Viewer
If ($xps.Installed -eq $FALSE)
{
Add-WindowsFeature XPS-Viewer
}
If ((Get-PsSnapin |?{$_.Name -eq "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"})-eq $null)
{
$PSSnapin = Add-PsSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Out-Null
}
Write-Host -ForegroundColor White "- Adding registry values ..."
