Why is ArcGISIndexingServer.exe always crashing?

[mfcallahan]

Several times per day I am receiving this error message, I'm not sure what's happening:

I recently installed ArcGIS Pro 2 and I'm getting this happening very often as well...

Have you filed a tech support case?  Nothing is showing up on a search, maybe because no one is reporting it.  It would be worth your while and useful for others that might be in a similar situation

Hi Dan, my searches also came up with nothing. I've tried to submit a case but I keep getting a "Unable to complete request"... I'll figure it out.

...bumping this up again...

Thanks so much!  I currently have a support ticket open regarding this but I will give your soltuion a try and see if that resolves the issue.

After a few days of >20 of these error msgs/day, I got serious too.  

• Killing the process in Task Manager didn't work
• This did not work for me - https://community.esri.com/thread/12858#comment-727241 
• Renaming the folders as described above did clue me in that ArcGIS Pro 1.2 had started a new index, but Arc GIS 10.5.1 hadn't... and the errors kept popping up
• Upgraded from ArcGIS Pro 1.2.5023 to ArcGIS to ArcGIS Pro 2.0 WORKED!  No errors in >24 hours!
