The search request was unable to connect to the Search Service

I have upgraded from WSS 3.0 to SharePoint Foundation 2010. So far everything appears to be OK apart from my search.
When I attempt a search I get the following:
The search request was unable to connect to the Search Service.
I checked the Manage Database Update Status in Central Admin and noticed the following(an upgrade is required):
Also, I checked Manage Services on Server and noticed that the only search related service is 'SharePoint Foundation Help Search'.
If I go into Manage Service Applications and click new there is no option to add a search service.
Finally I tried PSConfig:
PS C:\Users\administrator.ACHESON> PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force

Hi,
SharePoint Foundation the search service should be installed by default. It's not the same as with 2010 Standard or Enterprise where you can create a "Service Application" for it.
Follow this article to configure SharePoint Foundation Search:

Meanwhile, here is a thread which discusses the similar question:

Hi Sagar,
First, please check if the RAM is exhausted. When there is not enough RAM, this issue may occurs.
Please try to run iisreset on the WSUS server, then try to reconnect.
Also, please try to run the server cleanup wizard to remove the unused update.
Best Regards.

Hi
Thanks this has helped me solve the problem.
I used the Outlook Anywhere connectivity tester you suggested. Selected Outlook autodiscover.
It told me that it could not resolve things on any of the 4 tests.
I saw that using the last test "Attempting to contact the Autodiscover service using the DNS SRV redirect method", was the only one likely to work in my case.
I had already changed 3 entries in dns to point at my DDNS address but this had not worked, from the errors I could see that it was just the certificate name not matching so I changed the DNS entries for Autodiscover, autoconfig and _autodiscover._tcp
to be webmail.domain.com which is a CNAME to my ddns address for the broadband router, which in turn forwards ports 80 and 443 to the exchange server for owa and activesync access. I got an error message saying that I had an illegal entry in my SRV record
as a CNAME is not allowed, but it saved the change anyway.
I reran the test and it worked.I can now make new outlook clients attach teo exchange.
Thank you, after 8 hours yesterday of trying to reolve this I suddnely got it to work on one laptop but the other still would not and had lost track of what I could have changed so had no idea what actually made it work.
Thank you for your suggestion.

I hv a wifi connection. the ipad is detedcting the wifi, but still unable to connect to the internet.

I have a wi-fi connection. The Ipad is detecting the connection, but i am not able to connect to the internet.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Unable to connect to the analysis server the server name was not found

Hi,
One of the user is trying to run reports from PWA 2010 and gets the below error.
Unable to connect to the analysis server the server name was not found.Please verify the name you entered is correct and then try again.
Errors in the ole db provider.An error occurred while loading the connection dialog boxcomponent for prompting.
Please advice why?

Dear Project Help,
Please help the community with more information.
Which kind of reports are you running? Excel using OLAP?
If so, check out on your Excel sheet connection information to see if it's using the SSS Authentication mode:
I'm asking this because if the failure happens with a single user, the authentication method is wrong and you should set up Secure Store Service properly.
Let me know if you need any help on this.

My S4 is unable to connect to the cellular network after the 4.4.2 update failed to install this afternoon.

I attempted to install the OTA update for 4.4.2, but received an error message that the installation failed. When my phone rebooted it was unable to connect to the cell network and was extremely sluggish. I own an iMac and the S4 is no longer recognized by Kies or Android File Transfer.
I attempted turning off the phone and removing the battery and Sim, to no avail. I also attempted to access the recovery tools, but the phone will no longer boot to recovery. I tried a factory reset, but I do no recall ever setting the security PIN it seems to require.

There was a problem connecting to the server "10.0.1.30"

In the last couple of days I have started getting the error "There was a problem connecting to the server “10.0.1.30”" popping up on the screen. Nothing to my knowledge has changed and I have no devices on my LAN that have an IP address in this range. All devices IP addresses are 192.168.20.1xx and my router's IP address is "10.106.75.57", subset mask "255.255.255.255", gateway "10.106.75.57", DNS "10.5.80.241 , 10.5.68.232" (Router is NetComm NF2 with attached AirCard 320U USB 3G/4G modem).
A couple of weeks ago I switch from using a Sierra (NetGear) Aircard 760S Hotspot Modem (default IP address of 10.0.0.138) using the AirCard Hub wireless router (IP address 10.0.1.1) to the NetComm router AirCard modem combination.
If I Ping "10.0.1.30" the results are as follows:
"PING 10.0.1.30 (10.0.1.30): 56 data bytes

This error message is annoying, but apart from that everything appears to be working just fine. Is there a way of tracking down what is attempting to call 'server"10.0.1.30"' and stoping it. I.E. is there a quick and simple fix?

There are many possible causes for this issue, and it may be hard to resolve. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
If you get the alert as soon as you log in, it's probably caused by one of your login items or by software that otherwise loads at startup or login. Ask if you need help identifying it. A known offender is "AdobeResourceSynchronizer," which is a component of some Adobe products. See also this discussion.
If you get the alert in the login screen before you log in, stop here and ask for instructions.
Step 2
If there's an icon representing the server in the sidebar of a Finder window, hold down the command key and drag it out.
Step 3
In the Finder, press the key combination command-K or select
          Go ▹ Go to Server...
from the menu bar. In the upper right corner of the window that opens is a Recent Servers popup menu represented by a clock icon. From that menu, select
          Clear Recent Servers…
and confirm. Test.
Step 4
Open the Printers & Scanners pane in System Preferences and delete any network devices you no longer use.
Step 5
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing command-C:
~/Library/PDF Services
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. A folder may open. If it does, move the contents to the Desktop, or to a new folder on the Desktop. Log out and log back in. Test. If there's no change, put the items you moved back where they were and continue.
Step 6
Open the folder
~/Library/Preferences
as in Step 5 and move the file named "loginwindow.plist" items in that folder to the Trash, if it exists (it may not.)
Log out and back in again, and test.
Step 7
Other possible causes are references in the iPhoto, iTunes, or iMovie library pointing to the server, and bookmarks in the Preview application.
Try rebuilding the iPhoto library.
Step 8
Triple-click the line below to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Directory Utility.app
Rght-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
          Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* The application Directory Utility will open.
In the Directory Utility window, select the Directory Editor tool in the toolbar. Select Mounts from the Viewing menu in the toolbar, and /Local/Default from the node menu, if not already selected. On the right is a list of names and values. By default, the list is empty. If it's not empty, post a screenshot of the window and stop here.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.
Step 9
Open the following file as you did in the last step:
/etc/auto_master
It will open in a TextEdit window. The contents should be exactly this:
# Automounter master map
+auto_master          # Use directory service
/net               -hosts          -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
/home               auto_home     -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
/Network/Servers     -fstab
/-               -static
If there are any other lines in the window, post them. Otherwise, close the window.

There was a problem connecting to the server message - displayed when pressing printer email address

HP Photosmart B210, Windows 7...was able to print from iphone yesterday but now will not print. One the face of the printer if the ePrint symbol is pressed for the printer address the message "there was a problem connecting to the server" appears. I can find the device with my phone and on my computer. I can print from the computer but not phone

I understand you are getting unable to connect to server error message on your printer. I would first unplug router and printer for about 1 minute. I would plug router up first then printer. I would then try to enable web services. If not successful and you get same error message. I would follow these steps.
1. Obtain your printer's IP address
a. This can be done by pressing the wireless icon on printer.
2. Enter the printer's IP address in a browser.
3. Select the network tab at the top of the page.
4. On the left select networking.
5. Select Network Address (IP)
6. Select Manual DNS Server
a. Manual Preferred DNS should read 8.8.8.8
b. Alternate DNS Server should read. 8.8.4.4
7. Select apply you might get a warning just select okay.

INS0009: Unable to connect to the database with user SYS

Hi all,
I'm trying to create an OWB repository with OWB repository assistant (10.2.0.2.) on a 10.2.0.1. database (windows XP platform). I get the following error every time I fill in the connect info for the SYS user:
INS0009: Unable to connect to the database with user SYS. java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
I can connect to the database (sqlplus sys/<password>@orcl as sysdba) and the OS user is in the ora_dba group. Also checked the database parameters remote_login_passwordfile (= EXCLUSIVE) and O7_DICTIONARY_ACCESSIBILITY=TRUE.
Does anyone know what the problem is? Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Quinten

Ok I found the problem myself, I used the wrong sys password :-(. I thought the password I used to logon in sqlplus was right (sqlplus sys/<password>@orcl as sysdba) but the password doesn't matter when you logon as sysdba! So I altered the password for the user sys and now I can continue the steps of the repository assistant.

Some questions:
Are there any other databases running on this Std Edition SQL service?
[a] Yes there are, we have Kaspersky enterprise DB, Report Server DB and local application DB.
Are there any other services running on this WSUS Server?
[b] Yes there are, we have Active Directory, Kaspersky enterprise, SQL Server 2005, and WSUS all on the same server.
How many days since your WSUS server was first installed?
[c] It's been about a year now.
What is the physical size of the SUSDB.mdf file?
[d] 9,666,752 KB
What is the hardware configuration of this machine, including disk drives?
[e] Intel Xeon 1.86, 2GB Ram, HD C: 39GB - E: 25.2, running Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2.
How many client systems are you servicing from this WSUS Server?
[f] Around 40.
What products/classifications are you synchronizing.
[g] Windows XP-vista, Windows Server 2003, Office 2003-2007, SQL Server 2005.
Okay, for starters, you have an underpowered/overextended machine running Active Directory, ASP.NET, and a database server, all on a sub 2GHz CPU with 2GB RAM, and not enough disk spindles. The machine has had WSUS running for about a year and is 9GB in size.
There's no doubt in my mind that some of your performance issues are directly related to disk and database fragmentation.
There's also no doubt that some of your performance issues are directly related to memory starvation.
I'd suggest the following long-term fixes:
1. Get a second machine. Make it a dedicated database server. Provision it accordingly to support servicing multiple database applications.
2. Lacking #1, this machine needs more memory. It also needs more disk spindles. At a minimum the databases being serviced should be on a dedicated physical drive; ideally there would be two dedicated drives allocated for supporting database services. The
For the short-term fixes, do this:
1. During after-hours time, if you don't already have one, build a temporary machine that can act as a DC/GC, while you take this machine temporarily offline.
1. Shutdown the Update Services service, SQL Server database engine, and any other services dependent on the SQL Server database engine (Kapersky, and other reporting applications). Disconnect from the network to temporarly eliminate DC traffic. (You could also shutdown the AD services, but disconnecting the network cable is ever-so-much easier.) Defragment ALL drives.
2. Restart ONLY the SQL Server service. Obtain this SQL script to Reindex the WSUS Databases.
3. Restart ONLY the Update Services service. Attempt the Server Cleanup Wizard again. Run it in two passes. Pass 1 performing everything except remove unused updates. Pass 2 running only remove unused updates.
4. After completion of the Server Cleanup Wizard, reconnect the machine to the network and resume all other services.
5. If you're able to complete #3, secure the services of a well-qualified DBA to determine if there are any misconfigurations in your SQL Server setup that would account for why your WSUS database is 9GB in size -- such as improperly configured autogrowth parameters. Based on the products you're updating and only forty clients, 9GB is about 3x the maximum size I would expect to see in a WSUS database. It's possible this is simply caused by excess unused updates, it's possible it's caused by fragmentation, it's probable it was caused by unnecessary autogrowth of the database due to insufficient update maintenance. You'll want a DBA to assist you in shrinking that database after you successfully run the Database Maintenance and Server Cleanup Wizard.

Unable to connect to the content error!

Hi Everyone,
I am have followed some of the basic steps to achieve http dynamic streaming using default config of FMS 3.5 server.
I am installed my Strobe media Playback on apache 2.2 htdocs folder and the sample html works perfect when i call it from the browser (So I suppose my serevr is set up correctly.)
I have created three different bitrate files at 500, 750 and 1000 kbps and also created their manifest files using f4f packager so now I have 12 different files ( 3 of each, f4v, f4f, f4m and f4x). I have placed these files in a folder named content on my webserver where I put my strobe folder.
And now I am calling the 1000kbps.f4m file from the html code of my webpage using this code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

But it is giving me the error : WE ARE UNABLE TO CONNECT TO THE CONTENT YOU ARE REQUESTING.
Is there anything that I am doing wrong??
Suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ankit

In order to troubleshoot the errors, please set the "verbose" parameter to "true" in the flashvars. The error messages will get more "technical".
I suppose there's something wrong in the streaming server setup. Please re-check your steps and ensure you put your packaged files in the media location declared in the apache conf file, then check if they are accessible from your browser.
Please tell me if it worked!

Unable to connect to the repository for this domain

Hi,
on the Application Server Control interface of my ContentDB Middle-Tier instance, I have the following error on top of the "Content" Domain :
Error: Unable to connect to the repository for this domain
Due to this error, I'm not able to start the default Node (OC4J_Content is started) and I don't see any Domain properties, Node Configurations, Service Configurations within the Administration of the domain. This means that I cannot change any of these properties, but ContentDB is up and running...
When I try to start the Node, I have the following error in the opmn log:

PS:
I have OracleDB, ASInfrastructure and ContentDB (only one instance) installed on the same Windows 2003 server with the following versions:
- Oracle Database 10.2.0.1 + Oracle Database Companion CD (for Ultra Search) + Patch 10.2.0.2
- Oracle Metadata Repository Creation Assistant 10.1.2.0.2
- Oracle Application Server Infrastructure 10.1.2.0.2
- Oracle Content Database 10.2.0.0

I called Apple support at 5 pm, it is now 10:30 pm. I am STILL getting the SAME error, saying it is unable to connect to the iphone restore (for upgrading to iOS 4), they said to wait and try every thirty minutes, but it's getting old...

Unable to connect to the fpga compile server

Hi, I keep getting the following message when trying to compile my FPGA code -> LabVIEW FPGA was unable to connect to the FPGA compile server.... System configuration: Win 7 64LV 2009 (32 bit) SP1LV FPGA 2009 SP1cRIO 90249114 Chassis I am developing and compiling on the same machine with the cRIO attached through a wired router. I've tried repairing the FPGA installation with no changes. The attached screen shots are displayed in the order they are pasted Any insight would be appreciated - thanks in advance!

I appear to be having similar difficulties with compiling a FPGA VI remotely with LabVIEW 2010.
The remote compilation server is a PC running XP 64 bit. I have configured the compilation worker to allow remote connections and it lists it registered capabilities as Xilinx 10.1, Xilinix 11.5 and Xilinx 11.5 (64-bit). This can be seen in the attached png.
My development system is running XP 32 bit with LabVIEW 2010. It is connected to the server via a local area network.
The process I have been following is as follows;
1.) Log onto the server PC and start the compile worker (this is either physically or by connecting via remote desktop and then disconnecting but leaving the PC logged in with compile worker on)
2.) Set up the FPGA compilation settings on the development computer to be the server (hostname, domain\username, password)
3.) Try and rebuild the target VI
I then receive an error stating that the user name is too long or invalid (see png).
I have set the exceptions in the server firewall to allow port 96 as I found that this is the default port used for earlier version of the compile server but I am unsure if this is applicable in 2010. I need to check with my IT services that exceptions I add are actually applied.
If I go into the compile worker settings on my development PC and try and set them to that of the compile server then it also fails to connect.

There was a problem connecting to the server "Max Time Capsule"

Disclaimer: Previously posted here (Ask Different) and similar to this.
I'm trying to use my MBP inside and outside my office, and having it backup to my 2TB Time Capsule when on its wireless network, or defer backups when not on the Time Capsule's wireless network.
Unfortunately, if I've been on a different wireless network for a few hours worth of backup attempts, bringing the machine back onto the Time Capsule's wireless network doesn't resume backups, and Time Machine never recovers. I can select the disk as a backup drive in the Time Machine preferences, but the disk remains unavailable from the Finder, and any backup attempts yield the standard:
There was a problem connecting to the server "Max Time Capsule"
Check the server name or IP address, and then try again. If you continue to have problems, contact your system administrator.
My WiFi connection is through the same Time Capsule that hosts the backup drive, and its name and IP address have decidedly not changed. The only thing that seems to help is restarting the Time Capsule, but that is an inconvenient workaround at best.
The problem sounds similar to Backup Disk Not Available, but the answers to that question are either to restart or change the disk name or turn off the 5 GHz network (which didn't help). I also looked at /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeCapsule.plist, but found nothing that seemed relevant.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. My MBP is running OS X 10.7.5, and the Time Capsule firmware is 7.6.1.

There was a problem connecting to the server "Airport Time Capsule".
The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.
I still have internet connection, and have tried other suggestions across internet but really the only fix has been to power cycle the ATC. This unfortunately is only a temporary remedy for a day or so until it returns.
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
There is no fix.. I have written a bunch of suggestions to try.

It is very common on Mavericks.
How long did it take from when you set it up till it went bad??

There was a problem connecting to the server "AirPort Time Capsule".

I bought a new Macbook air and a 2TB Airport Time Capsule. I currently use the ATC for time machine, and external storage of Itunes & Iphoto libraries.
Everything was beautiful until the other day when I got the following :
