Safeguarding Administration Files

If you put your customized administration files (.ida and .idq files) into a virtual directory with Read access, you can expose them to searches. To prevent these files from being searched, put them in the administration directory, which is created when Index Server is installed:

/IisAdmin/IsAdmin

Or create a directory and add Access Control List (ACL) security to grant full control only to the administrator and System.
