Problem rename sharepoint 2010 search service application admin database

Hi all,
i have a problem that hopefully someone has an answer to. i am not too familiar with sharepoint so please excuse my ignorance.
we have sharepoint 2010 on a windows 2008r2 server. everything seems to work fine. but as you know, the default database names are horrendous. i have managed to rename all of them, except for the "search service application" admin
database.
the default is: Search_Service_Application_DB_<guid>
the other 2 databases (crawl and property) were renamed without a problem.
we are following the article from technet on how to rename the search service admin db (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-nz/library/ff851878%28en-us%29.aspx). it says to enter the following command:
$searchapp | Set-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication -DatabaseName "new database name" -DatabaseServer "dbserver"
however, i get an error about identity being null. no big deal, i add the -Identity switch and the name of my search service application. but the real problem comes the error it throws:
Set-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication : The requested database move was aborted as the associated search application is not paused.
At line:1 char:54
+ $searchapp | Set-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication <<<< -Identity "Search Service Application" -DatabaseName "SharePoint2010_Search_Service_Application_DB" -DatabaseServer "dbserver"
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidData: (Microsoft.Offic...viceApplication:
   SetSearchServiceApplication) [Set-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication], I
nvalidOperationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Cmdlet.SetSearchS
   erviceApplication
when i look at the crawling content sources, i see "Local SharePoint Sites" and it's status is Idle. i even looked at this article on how to pause the search to no avail. (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee808864.aspx)
does someone know how i can rename my Search Service Applcation Admin database properly? or at least "pause" that service so i can rename it?
thank you all in advanced

If you want to have no guids for your search admin db, i recommend you check out this script :)
just delete your search service application (assuming you have just started)

Hi Basva,
Do you want to provision two search service applications in single farm?
Commonly, only one search service application is needed in a farm for Search function.
Here are articles for detail information about how to provision search service application using powershell:

Sharepoint 2010 search service from C# web service and Powershell - passing credentials to search

Good morning everyone,
I really need your expert help about the following issue. I ve developed a web service in C#. Its core code has a Powershell script inside which makes a call to SharePoint 2010 search service to make some search queries, and returns some URL of some files.
In Powershell code I make connection to SharePoint search service using the Farm Admin account. This system works, but given results are not filetered by the user using the web service (I remember you I m using the Farm admin account in PS code)
How can I use user account to make some queries ? How can I filter search results by user ? In Powershell code I put username and password of Farm Admin account and I know them because I m the farm administrator, but
what about if I want to pass Powershell code some other user credentials ? Of course I cannot know his credential .. Can I do it , in which way ?
Any help is really appreciated !
Gae

Hi Gae, if you are using web services, you shouldn't need to add a SharePoint DLL to your project. I would advise against using C# -> PS -> Web Service Call -> PS -> C# if you could go straight C# -> Web Service -> C#.
Anyways, back to the matter at hand. Do you know what type of authentication your SharePoint server is running? Is it direct NTLM, NTLM over Kerberos, Claims, or something different?
The following article provides the various types of impersonation available in SharePoint:

Can you refine people search results using a SharePoint 2013 search service application connected in SharePoint 2010?

We have an SP2010 farm which is now using some of the service applications from an SP2013 farm, including the search, managed metadata and user profile. This is part of an upgrade programme of work which will involve upgrading infrastructure and
then gradually the sites, and this is seen as one way to minimise the impact.
So, the SP2010 search results are being generated by the SP2013 which is indexing the SP2010 content. The initial results appear fine, however, the refiners in the people results for Job Title and Department are no longer working. We are receiving
a 404 page not found, even though the page is there as was working before.
If we compare the URL generated in SP2010 for refining results to an OOTB SP2013 search centre site, there is clearly a big difference to the format. Example below is where LastName is Smith and then refined where Department is HR.
SP2010 URL which now gives a 404 error:
http://intranet2010/search/pages/peopleresults.aspx?k=LastName%3Asmith&r=%22owstaxIdSPShDepartment%22%3D%23832e3479%2Dd168%2D4620%2Dac69%2D9b00a4c4205b%3A%22HR%22
OOTB SP2013 URL:
http://intranet2013/search/pages/peopleresults.aspx?k%3Asmith#Default=%7B%22k%22%3A%22smith%22%2C%22r%22%3A%5B%7B%22n%22%3A%22Department%22%2C%22t%22%3A%5B%22%5C%22%C7%82%C7%824335%5C%22%22%5D%2C%22o%22%3A%22and%22%2C%22m%22%3Anull%2C%22k%22%3Afalse%7D%5D%7D
I've looked at the URL decoded versions so can see how the query is built up.
Any ideas? Is this even possible?
Matt

All working now. Turns out there was an entry in the web.config which was causing issues.
<denyQueryStringSequences>
<add sequence="ID" />
</denyQueryStringSequences>
Seems IIS is denying something in the query string. We removed the whole section as was not needed.
http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/security/requestfiltering/denyquerystringsequences
Thanks to a colleague who spotted this; I would've never of thought to check the web.config for something like this.

SharePoint 2010 Search Service is not working on replication of Servers.

Hi, I have a problem. I have a SharePoint Farm in which there are two servers with ip's 192.168.8.60 and 192.168.8.62. Both are replicas of each other. The search service is working on 192.168.8.60 and not working on 192.168.8.62. What can be the problem?
Also tell me how can I make the search service working on 192.168.8.62. What can be the issue?

Hi,
Could you provide more details about how the search service doesn’t work?
Are the search service unable to be started in CA -> Application Management -> Manage services on server? Or did you find it not working when you did searching? If that is the case, could you provide the error about
it?
It would be helpful to solve this issue if you provide more details about the issue.

Upgrade Search Service Applications

Is there any reason why we want to upgrade the service applications (using database attach) like secure store, user profile, search service.. rather than re-creating them manually? We are trying to upgrade from SP 2010 to SP 2013 and was stuck
figuring out how to go with service applications.
Thanks in advance.

Hi AparnaT,
There are six service applications that we can be upgraded: business data connectivity, performance point service, search service, user profile service, managed meta data web service and secure store service.
All of them have databases which contains many important data. Such as the Business Data Connectivity service uses a database to store information about external data, the Managed Metadata service uses a database to store metadata information, the Search
service application Administration database contains settings for the Search service application such as content sources, crawl rules, start addresses, server name mapping, and federated locations, the
User Profile service uses databases to store profile, social, and sync information. So we need to upgrade the service applications rather than re-creating them manually.

Search Service Application problems after upgrading from Foundation to Enterprise edition of SharePoint 2013

Hi all. I have been searching for days for a solution to a problem I am having with SP2013 Enterprise edition.
We recently upgraded from SP2013 Foundation to SP2013 Enterprise. After the upgrade, the search services are no longer working and we are receiving many application log entries indicating the following:
Application Server Administration job failed for service instance Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchServiceInstance (ea2019ef-bb9e-4efe-85ee-5d2307406f31).
Reason: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))

as well as:

at Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.ApplicationServerJob.ProvisionLocalSharedServiceInstances(Boolean isAdministrationServiceJob)
I have tried to remove the search service application and recreate it, and even though the SharePoint Central Administration states that it was created successfully, I am still getting the same errors in the log. If I go to the Search Service Application
Search Administration page, the "System Status" shows the following message:
The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component '0359af35-0982-4ede-8838-b1d390e915bf' in search application 'Search Service Application' is in a good state and
try again
Additionally, under the "Search Application Topology" section, it states "Unable to retrieve topology component health states. This may be because the admin component is not up and running" which I assume is normal if the admin is not
running.
Does anyone know how I can resolve this problem?
Thanks!

Hi Joaquin,
According to your description, the error occurred when you re-created the Search Service Application.
Based on the error message, I recommend to verify the things below:
   1. Check if the association between the Search Service Application proxy and the web application is configured.
Please go to Central Administration > Application Management > Configured service application associations > Click Default to see if the Search Service application is checked.
   2. Change the app pool for the Search Service Application to SharePoint Web Services Default in the properties of the Search Service Application.
Please go to Central Administration > Application Management > Manage service applications > Highlight the Search Service Application > Click Properties in the ribbon > Change
the two app pool to SharePoint Web Services Default: App Pool For Search Admin Web Service and Application Pool for Search Query and Site Settings Web Service.
    3. Run PS command to check if the search admin timer job is enabled: Get-SPTimerJob
job-application-server-admin-service | fl. If it is not enabled, use PS command to enabled it and then reset Internet Information Services: Enable-SPTimerJob job-application-server-admin-service.
Best regards.

SharePoint Search Service Application Restore Is Failing

Issue:
When performing a Search Service restore with the CA UI, the restore is failing. The backup was generated from a Full level backup that is run nightly from the cmdlet Backup-SPFarm. The Farm is running SharePoint 2013 SP1, Windows Server 2012 And SQL
Server 11.0.3128. Both Production and the test environment have the same topology.
The sprestore.log file shows the following error message:

A SQL Profile was run beginning at 12/18/2014 11:11.
A SQL exception can be found at 11:20:03 with the error:
               The database principal owns a database role and cannot be dropped.
The issue has to do with the SQL statement just prior to the exception:
declare @p4 int
set @p4=NULL
declare @p5 int
set @p5=NULL
exec sp_executesql N'declare @db_user_name sysname
select @db_user_name = name from dbo.sysusers where sid = SUSER_SID(@user_name) and hasdbaccess = 1
if (@db_user_name is null)
begin
if exists(select * from dbo.sysusers where name = @user_name)
exec @revoke_result = sp_revokedbaccess @user_name
exec @grant_result = sp_grantdbaccess @user_name, @db_user_name output
end',N'@user_name nvarchar(128),@revoke_result int output,@grant_result int output',@user_name=N'----\sp2013uatfarmacct',@revoke_result=@p4 output,@grant_result=@p5 output
select @p4, @p5
I highlighted the row in red causing the issue. For some reason SharePoint during the Search Restore process try’s to delete the user “------\sp2013uatfarmacct” from the database Search_Service_Application_DB_60bb9889222841aa94f59aed71349a6b
And re-add them again. But the reason for the failure is because the user “------\sp2013uatfarmacct” is the owner of the database role “SPSearchDBAdmin”, so it cant.
I checked all other Service databases that contain the role SPSearchDBAdmin and they all correctly have the owner as dbo
NOT ------\sp2013uatfarmacct.
Further checking the SQL trace log a SQL batch is executed at 12/18/2014 11:19:59.790 that states the following:
-- Drop existing role members
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.database_principals WHERE name = N'SPSearchDBAdmin' AND type = 'R')
Begin
    DECLARE @RoleMemberName sysname
    DECLARE Member_Cursor CURSOR FOR
    SELECT [name]
    FROM sys.database_principals
    WHERE
        principal_id IN
            SELECT member_principal_id
            from sys.database_role_members
            where role_principal_id in (
            select principal_id
            FROM sys.database_principals where [name] = N'SPSearchDBAdmin' AND type = 'R' ))
    OPEN Member_Cursor;
    FETCH NEXT FROM Member_Cursor
    into @RoleMemberName
    WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
    BEGIN
        exec sp_droprolemember @rolename=N'SPSearchDBAdmin', @membername= @RoleMemberName
        FETCH NEXT FROM Member_Cursor
        into @RoleMemberName
    END;
    CLOSE Member_Cursor;
    DEALLOCATE Member_Cursor;
End
-- Drop/Create role
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.database_principals WHERE name = N'SPSearchDBAdmin' AND type = 'R')
DROP ROLE [SPSearchDBAdmin]
CREATE ROLE [SPSearchDBAdmin]
I highlighted the statement in red that is eventually causing the SP restore to fail. For some unknown reason to me when this statement is executed the new ROLE SPSearchDBAdmin owner is -----\sp2013uatfarmacct
instead of dbo.
As a test I executed via SQL Management Studio “CREATE ROLE [SPSearchDBAdmin]” and it correctly created the owner as dbo.
So the problem and my question is why when the SP Search Service is restored is the ROLE SPSearchDBAdmin owner being set to “-----\ sp2013uatfarmacct”, which in turn seems to be causing the restore failure?

Hi!
I believe it is trying to delete a user who owns the schema of the database. You can try changing the schema owner to some other user like "dbo", and then drop the first user.
Below are a few links that can help you with much more details.

Sharepoint 2013 search error - The search application 'Search Service Application 1' on server is not provisioned.Confirm that the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Timer service and Central Administration service are running on the server.

Hi All,
I'm getting the below error in My SHarepoint 2013 search Administration page.
Crawler background activity - The search application 'Search Service Application 1' on server "" is not provisioned. Confirm that the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Timer service and Central Administration service are running
on the server.
and when i click on Crawl Log and content source
it throws the below error
The search service is currently offline. Visit the Services on Server page in SharePoint Central Administration to verify whether
the service is enabled. This might also be because an indexer move is in progress
When i check the search status
Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance, it shows all the components are online.
As of now search service application is online and search is working.But not sure why it throws the above error.
I have restarted timer service,search service in services.msc and cleared the sharepoint cache as well.
But no luck,This is happening in my prodcution environment.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
There are the logs i have found

2. Then open windows administrative services (services.msc), stop SharePoint Timer Service
3. Clear SharePoint Timer configuration cache by following steps mentioned in below blog:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jamesway/archive/2011/05/23/sharepoint-2010-clearing-the-configuration-cache.aspx
4. Start SharePoint Timer Service and give it a few seconds so that the new XML files from the location you deleted then are re-populated.
5.Central Administration > Monitoring > Review job definitions > Look for following timer job "Application Server Administration Service" Timer Job > Enable

My issue is that the sharepoint search service application is not crawling. How can I know the reason of this error and how to fix this.

Hi Vishwajeet,
if you facing any problem in search you can Use the crawl log and crawl-health reports to diagnose problems
which is best recommended practices from Microsoft.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn535606%28v=office.15%29.aspx
for View Search diagnostic and also check all the search related service whether its running or not

Sharepoint foundation 2013 Search Service Application.

Hi all,
I want to configure search application for sharepoint foundation 2013. I have followed some of the web links.
But did not get success. Can you please provide me the working example of how to configure search application and run the crawl. And make sure the search is working correctly.
Thanks in advance for help.

Hi Vishwajeet,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to configure SharePoint Foundation 2013 Search service application.
In SharePoint Foundation 2013, we cannot add the Search Service to SharePoint Foundation 2013 from the Central Administration GUI after selecting a manual configuration method. It seems that the ONLY way you can add the Search Service to SharePoint Foundation
2013 is by using the SharePoint Configuration Wizard.
More information, please refer to the link:

SharePoint 2010 Search Error

Hello,
Search Service Application was working probably but I started getting the errors below!
The start address sps3s://spxyzzzzz cannot be crawled.
Context: Application 'Search_Service_Application', Catalog 'Portal_Content'
Details:
   This item could not be crawled because the repository did not respond within the specified timeout period. Try to crawl the repository at a later time, or increase the timeout value on the Proxy and Timeout page in search administration.
You might also want to crawl this repository during off-peak usage times.   (0x80040d7b)
The start address https://mysitexxxx cannot be crawled.

The server xyzzzz is unavailable and could not be accessed. The server is probably disconnected from the network. Items from this server will be skipped by the crawl for the next 10 minutes
I haven't deleted any sites! I'm not sure what could be the issue? I accessed these urls through browser!
Any ideas?
Thanks

lookalike something goes wrong with SSL certs....did you change or update your SSL.

I did not make changes on cert. I doubt it might be something with my SSRS scale-out deployment configuration. I'm not sure yet. I pointed same NLB IP address with different host name. I'm not sure If I need to create another NLB on WFEs which does not
make sense. They are already network load balanced!! Anyway thanks for your reply.

Hi,
We have a SharePoint 2010 Farm with 5 servers:
1 SQL Server Cluster
2 WFE
1 Index Server
1 Search Server
Please see bellow a more detailed specification.Our DNS is using a Load Balancer
It turns out that when it uses one WFE (SERVWFE05) it throws this error:
SharePoint 2010 Search Error: "Internal server error exception"
when it uses the other one (SERVWFE06) it works.
What can be wrong?
