Support Windows Search with Windows Server 2019 in Meridian Server versions 2019 R2 – 2021

To update Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019:

1. Uninstall your current version of VC++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015-2019.

2. Install the latest version of this software.

This is not required for Meridian 2021 because this release was built on the latest MS Visual Studio versions.

Use the following command line to unregister the ICEDMDCP component:

cmd> "C:\Program Files\BC-Meridian\Program\ICEDMDCP.exe" /unregserver

After running this command, the DCOM component/app ICEDMDCP should not be present in Component Services.

1. To verify this: Start the Component Services app.

2. Navigate to Component Services > Computers > My Computer > DCOM Config.

3. Review the list of applications.

To replace the ICEDMDCP.exe file with a new file:

1. Download the new file in this link.
2. Replace the executable file ICEDMDCP.exe with the new file.

By default, this executable is installed in C:\Program Files\BC-Meridian\Program\ .

To register the Meridian Document Content Service (ICEDMDCP.exe):

1. Use the following command line:

   cmd> "C:\Program Files\BC-Meridian\Program\ICEDMDCP.exe" /service

2. Start the Services app and review the list of services.

   A new service should be visible.

3. In the Services app, right-click the service.

4. Set the Startup type to Automatic.

5. Set Log on to the same account as for the Meridian Services.

6. Alternatively, use the command:

   cmd> SC.exe config "ICEDMDCP" obj= "<SERVICEUSERNAME>" password= "<SERVICEUSERPASSWORD>" start= auto type= own

   SERVICEUSERNAME/ SERVICEUSERPASSWORD is the account and password under which the Meridian services are run. Example: SC.exe config "ICEDMDCP" obj= "BCMSVC@automanagerdomain.debug" password= "<ServiceAccountPassword>" start= auto type= own.

7. For the ICEDMDCP service, set the DCOM security settings (Launch&Activation/Access Permissions) to Everyone (the same as ICEDMCIC-component).

   To do this, choose one of three options:

   • To adjust settings manually in the Component Services app.

     • Navigate to Component Services/Computers/My Computer/DCOM Config/ICEDMDCP/Properties/Security Tab/.

     • In Launch and Activation Permissions, click Edit.

     • In Access Permission, click Edit.

   • Execute the registry file ICEDMDCP-DCOM-Security-Settings.reg in the attached archive.

   • Copy the following text into a text file with the extension .reg and execute it:
