(Tried to post this as a support contact, but the contact web pages produce only an error right now.)
In Essentials Experience VM of Windows Server 2012 R2, the DrivePool drive letter doesn't show up as a location available for indexing in Indexing Options (see attachments). The Pool drive letter (X:) does display in Disk Management and Explorer and Dashboard.
As a result, I don't have ability to stream media remotely (yes, I know about Subsonic ) or to add shared folders on the Server drive X: to my HTPC Win 7 libraries ("not indexed" error).
I went back to my earlier two VMs with DrivePool installed, WHS2011 (v. 2.1.0.437) and WS2012E (v. 2.1.0.420), and both had the DrivePool letter in the Indexing Options location. So I don't think this has anything to do with the beta DrivePool version, which seems to have been working great since I installed in WS2012R2E, except for this indexing issue.
Is there a way to add the Pool drive letter to indexing or Windows Search locations in the registry . . . . or what?
(BTW, I take it that the Re-index option is not in v. 2 of DrivePool?)
Edit: Since the Contact page is working again today, I just made a ticket on this. Also found that registry entries for Win8.1 (DrivePool not installed) and WS2012R2E have "invalid entries" for DriveTypes in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\VolumeInfoCache\. Those invalid entries didn't exist for earlier Windows versions. Could that be a clue?
