One of the new features of Windows Server 2003 is the disabling of certain services. In Windows 2000 those services that are installed by default during setup are enabled. For security and performance, certain services are now disabled and can be enabled by the administrator as needed.

There are a few different ways in which you can install a new service. The steps below outline how you can add a new service through the Add or Remove Programs applet.

1. Click Start, point to Control Panel and click Add/Remove Programs.
2. Click Add/Remove Windows Components.
3. Click the box next to the Indexing Service and click Next. Click Finish.
4. Close the Add/Remove Programs applet.
