Sharepoint Server 2013 Search Issue

Hi,
running Sharepoint server 2013. search service application is not working properly. getting the below error message.
"Unable to retrieve topology component health states. This may be because the admin component is not up and running"
we have 2 tier sharepoint 2013 farm architecture. please find the below server details.
1. WFE & APP server (OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and RAM: 8 GB)
2. database server (OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and RAM: 8 GB)
I tried the following:
- installed the latest sharepoint server 2013 CU.
- OS is up to date.
- deleted and recreated Search Service Application
- The service account does have access to the search databases
- one account is used, domain\sp2013search, has all necessary permissions
Please help to fix the search issue.

Hi Raj0639,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you run SharePoint 2013 Search.
Firstly, please make sure that all servers are online, and connecting to others.
Please stop all search services on Manage services on server, then restart them. Please try to do as Amit said, compare the result.
If this issue still exists, please repair SharePoint 2013 under Control Panel, then compare the result.
Here is a similar post for you to take a look at:

I hope this helps.
Thanks,

SharePoint server 2013 Search Service App on Windows server 2012 R2 not working

Hi all,
I installed SharePoint server 2013 on Windows server 2012 R2 using VirtualBox. I created a DC(domain controller) server with a domain set up on one VM and it has SQL server 2012 SP1 installed. Then SharePoint 2013 on another VM
was set up to access the DC server. Everything seems working except Search Service App which cannot be sucessfully set up. Creation process for Search service app says Successful and 4 search databases were created and look fine. But when I navigate
to search service app admin page, it gives error info:
System status: The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component '386f2cd6-47ca-4b3a-aeb5-d9116772ef16' in search application 'Search Service Application 1' is
in a good state and try again.
Search Application Topology: Unable to retrieve topology component health states. This may be because the admin component is not up and running.
From event viewer, I see following errors:

Since separate DC server and SharePoint server do not work, I installed SharePoint 2013 on DC server ( so DC server has everything on it now ) but it gives exactly same result. Later I installed SharePoint 2013 SP1 and still have the same problem
with Search Service app. I spent two weeks tried all suggestions available from Web and Google but SharePoint Search Service simply does not work. Config and other databases work but why Search Service has this issue seemingly related to search DB.
Could anybody please help out? You deserve a top SharePoint consultant award if you could find a solution. I am so frustrated and so tired by this issue.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that SharePoint server 2013 Search Service App did not work on Windows server 2012 R2.
Please make sure you configure Search Service Application correctly. You can refer to:Create and configure a Search service application in SharePoint Server 2013
I recommend to created new Search Service Application, and made a full crawl. Then assigned the new SSA as the default SSA for webapplications. Finnlay checked the issue doesnt occur now,
If all search related components now are online, to keep the enviroonment clean, you can delete the old SSA.
Thank you for your understanding.

SharePoint Server 2013 Search Box has disappeared

Hi guys,
SharePoint Server 2013 Search Box has disappeared and not showing on any sites. Even when I try to go to Search centre site I get an error "sorry something went wrong...
Web Parts Maintenance Page: If you have permission, you can use this page to temporarily close Web Parts or remove personal settings. For more information, contact your site administrator. "
My search SA is working fine and crawl running with no error. It seems like there was same issue on SP foundation 2013 where there is fixed released for that:
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2760625?wa=wsignin1.0
But I have SP Server and i can confirm that I have installed SP1 (KB288055) in my farm.
I wonder if I need to install any CU to fix this.... I haven't installed any CUs in my farm yet.
Shall I go for Feb 2015 CU update or Sept 2014 CU? or is there any fixes for that with no CU or I need to install my farm from the scratch....
Please help.
Any advice greatly appreciated.

You have deactivated SharePoint Search from center Admin.
Please activate it

what kind of error in browser you are seeing?
is search service application never starterd or its started but cannot crawl?
did you see the timer jobs related to search services and what's their status?
so what about the search results from site collection?
also make sure this service "SharePoint Search Host Controller Service" started on all servers in the farm.
Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful,if this solves/helps your problem. ****************************************************************************************** Thanks -WS MCITP(SharePoint 2010, 2013) Blog: http://wscheema.com/blog
In the browser I receive the following error:
The search service app is running, doesn't crawl:
Yes, I can see the timer jobs related to search services, some of them are Succeded, others are Scheduled.
The service SharePoint Search Host Controller Service is started in the first server of the farm, but not in the second
one. When I try to start it, I receive the following error:
Windows could not start the Sharepoint Search Host Controller Service on Local Computer. Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly.

Sharepoint server 2013 configuration issue - failed to create configuration database

Hi All,
I have installed the SharePoint server 2013. After installing the SharePoint products, the configuration stops at failure of creating configuration database.
Some system configuration & info:
- 1 Domain controller server run Active Directory services on Windows server 2008 R2 SP1 (PC1 with name DC.Brainfiniti.com)
- 1 Server which is used for installing Sharepoint server 2013 and MS SQL server 2008 R2 SP1 (PC2 with name App.Brainfiniti.com)
- All of PCs were satisfied the requirement of Sharepoint server 2013
- Firewall turned off & No antivirus tool was installed.
- During installing of Sharepoint, choose "Complete" option: Farm mode and use SQL Server instead of SQL Express.
- During configuration, created a new farm with a domain user account.
- Use domain account to log on and install, configure in Sharepoint & SQL server (PC2)
ATTEMPTS:
1. Tried install and set up all of steps with just 1 account - domain administrator.
2. Tried with separate domain account:
- SQL Service account use for:
+ Install SQL server 2008
+ Connect all SQL services
+ Admin for SQL server
- Setup account use for:
+ Member of local administrator group in PC2
+ Install Sharepoint
+ Run Configuration wizard
+ Was granted permission in SQL database: dbcreator, securityadmin, sysadmin and deselect serveradmin role.
+ Was choose for the database account in configuration database step
Also tried with SQL service account in this step.
3. Tried with Standalone mode for Sharepoint installing
4. Trie with domain name: Brainfiniti.local
5. Tried with some another solution from topic relate to database configuration in our community but not successful.
But all attempts are failed at this configuration database step :'(
Please correct me if I am going wrong by missing something or do I need to start/install some services.
Screenshot Attached
Sorry! Cannot add screenshot because my account is still not verified. Will add later.

Set up Search Service App For SharePoint server 2013 on Windows server 2012 R2 not working

Hi all,
I installed SharePoint server 2013 on Windows server 2012 R2 using VirtualBox. I created a DC(domain controller) server with a domain set up on one VM and it has SQL server 2012 SP1 installed. Then SharePoint 2013 on another VM was set up to access
the DC server. Everything seems working except Search Service App which cannot be sucessfully set up. Creation process for Search service app says Successful and 4 search databases were created and look fine. But when I navigate to search service app
admin page, it gives error info:
System status: The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component '386f2cd6-47ca-4b3a-aeb5-d9116772ef16' in search application 'Search Service Application 1' is in
a good state and try again.
Search Application Topology: Unable to retrieve topology component health states. This may be because the admin component is not up and running.
From event viewer, I see following errors:

Since separate DC server and SharePoint server do not work, I installed SharePoint 2013 on DC server ( so DC server has everything on it now ) but it gives exactly same result. Later I installed SharePoint 2013 SP1 and still have the same problem with Search
Service app. I spent two weeks tried all suggestions available from Web and Google but SharePoint Search Service simply does not work. Config and other databases work but why Search Service has this issue seemingly related to search DB.
Could anybody please help out? You deserve a top SharePoint consultant award if you could find a solution. I am so frustrated and so tired by this issue.    This seems also to be a SP set up issue.
Thanks a lot.

Using new Search Service App wizard to create SSA is always a success. I could delete existing SSA and recreate it and no problem. It says successful but when I open Search Admin page from CA, it gives me errors as mentioned.
Now I used the following PS script for creating SSA from Max Mercher, but it stays at the last setps in following script:
Add-PsSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$IndexLocation = "C:\Search" #Location must be empty, will be deleted during the process!
$SearchAppPoolName = "SSAPool"
$SearchAppPoolAccountName = "mydomain\admin"
$SearchServiceName = "SSA"
$SearchServiceProxyName = "SSA Proxy"
$DatabaseServer = "W12R2DC1"
$DatabaseName = "SSA"
$spAppPool = Get-SPServiceApplicationPool -Identity $SearchAppPoolName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if (!$spAppPool)
$spAppPool = New-SPServiceApplicationPool -Name $SearchAppPoolName -Account $SearchAppPoolAccountName -Verbose
$ServiceApplication = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication -Identity $SearchServiceName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if (!$ServiceApplication)
# process stays at the following step forever, already one hour now.
$ServiceApplication = New-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication -Name $SearchServiceName -ApplicationPool $spAppPool.Name -DatabaseServer $DatabaseServer -DatabaseName $DatabaseName
Account mydomain\admin is an farm managed account, domain admin account, in WG_ADMIN role, It is in all SQL server roles and is DBO. I see search DBs are already on SQL server. From Event viewer, I got following errors in sequence:

SharePoint Server 2013 - Document file search

HELP! HELP! HELP! HELP!
I am using SP Server 2013. My environment consist of SP server and SQL 2012 database server. I have 3 site collections under one web application http://sharepoint1/
I am having problems with results not being returned on recent uploaded documents when I attempt to search for a file inside the document webpart. Here are my steps:
1) Started a continuous full crawl on my local sharepoint sites...content seems to be crawling just fine
2) After I upload new files to document library, I go to advance settings to reindex the files.
3) I attempt to do a search on the docs that were recently uploaded, but I get a "your search returned no results".
4) I am able to get results back from documents that I uploaded two weeks ago.
I have documents inside their respective folders. Whichever site collection I am in, I want to be able to do a search on files.
My boss has specifically advise me to stay away from enterprise features. I can not enable or activate features that will swing us over to the enterprise license.
The search seems to be partially working since I am getting returns on older uploaded docs. What am I doing wrong or missing. Please provide 'How-to" links or resources on setting up search application the correct way.
Help is greatly appreciated!!!
artisticweb

The default continuous crawl interval is 15 minutes. Do the files appear in search results after 15 minutes from uploading?
If so, you can increase the frequency to a maximum (minimum?) of 1 minute. To set the interval, check out Manage continuous crawls in SharePoint Server 2013
From an elevated SharePoint Management Shell, run:
$ssa = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication
$ssa.SetProperty("ContinuousCrawlInterval",1)
(If you have more than one Search Service Application you'll need to filter accordingly)
Update: Another thing worth looking into -- which patches have you applied to the farm, what is the farm's build version? Earlier releases had search issues that have been fixed in later updates.

Error while opening file from search result in SharePoint Server 2013

Hi All,
I have configured a file system search in SharePoint serve 2013, it is crawling the data and displaying in search result.
But while click on file to open, it gives error "Cannot find 'file://filesystemPath/filename'. Make sure the path or internet address is correct.".
I have given 'Everyone' to read and execute rights on shared folder (used in file system).
Please guide me.
Thanks in advance
Dharmender Sharma

Hi,
Please check whether this issue occurred on all files or a specific file from the shared folder.
1. If this issue occurred on a specific file, please check if the file exists in the shared folder, whether someone deleted it.
2. If this issue occurred on all files , please check the network and make sure the shared folder is online
Feel free to reply if the issue still exists.
Best regards

Search not working in site collections migrated from MOSS 2007 to SharePoint Server 2013

I have few site collections migrated from MOSS 2007 to SharePoint Server 2013 using database attach (first to 2010 and then to 2013).
When I search for anything in these migrated sites, I get "Nothing here matches your search".
Checked the crawl log for these sites and see this error for all items.
The content processing component failed to process the security descriptor of the item. ( The input ACL is invalid (1210 / 2072).; ; SearchID =
Some-Random-GUID )
Search works fine in newly created sites in 2013 environment.
Please help.

Hello
Did you migrate your users to claims when you migrated the databases?
$wa = Get-SPWebApplication http://yourdom.com
$wa.MigrateUsers($true)
$wa.ProvisionGlobally()
I assume the sites that work and the migrated content are in the same database?

Hi Siriosus,
Indeed you do need Sharepoint Server 2013
Enterprise for Project Server 2013.
See article below where it is mentionned:
Project Server 2013 requires the Enterprise edition of SharePoint Server 2013. Prior versions of SharePoint Server and SharePoint Foundation 2013 are not supported.

Schedule SharePoint Server 2013 discoveries along with SharePoint Foundation 2013 discoveries

Hi
So I'm trying to add the SharePoint Server discoveries in SCOM 2012 - pasted the code straight of the MS guide into the config file:
    <Workflow Id="MOSSInstallation.Discovery;WACInstallation.Discovery;SearchExpressInstallation.Discovery;SearchStandardInstallation.Discovery" MP="Microsoft.SharePoint.Server.2013.Discovery" Type="Discovery"
Times="1" />
    <Workflow Id="SPService.Discovery" MP="Microsoft.SharePoint.Server.2013.Discovery" Type="Discovery" Times="4" />
    <Workflow Id="SPSharedService.Discovery" MP="Microsoft.SharePoint.Server.2013.Discovery" Type="Discovery" Times="4" />
    <Workflow Id="SPSharedService.Discovery.WAC" MP="Microsoft.SharePoint.Server.2013.Discovery" Type="Discovery" Times="4" />
However when I run the "Configure" Task I get the following error: (NOTE - I discovered that the Dir "Monitoring Host Temporary Files 28803\2522979" does not even exist - )
The Event Policy for
the process started at 8:13:26 AM has detected errors in the output. The

SharePoint Server 2013 single server installation licenses and system requirements

We are thinking of setting up a SharePoint Server 2013 for the following features to be accessed by our test team (<100 users)
Our requirements are as follows -
Total user access <100 users(starts with 50 and may be go upto 100)
Mainly Access to TeamSite(Document library), WiKi, BI reports view(SSRS Reports integration)
We have a Visual Studio Ultimate license that covers SQL Server 2012 and Share Point server 2013.
We have also got a Amazon EC2 machine access to create a Xlarge box with Microsoft recommended Cores, Memory, storage for SINGLE INSTALLATION of SharePoint Server 2013 and SQL server database on Windows Server 2012
My queries are as follows
Are the licenses above sufficient to go ahead with setting up the SP Server? or do i need any other licenses ?
I would like to create local LDAP in amazon without connecting to the company active directory. Would this be possible? We have users from other locations(different countries) providing services to our company and we would like them to access this portal
to share and access docuemnts without any network issue etc..
Are there any known firewall issues with EC2 machines for share point deployment
System requirements for single server installation (with or without BI reports)
Please note this implementation is only for internal use by the test team and is not critical. Not a production implementation.
Is there any better solution?
Much appreciate your help
Thanks
Vara

MSDN subscription licenses for SharePoint aren't, as far as i know, for use as production devices. This means that whilst you can use it for testing and development you can't use that license for the SharePoint server that you'll all be using.
As such I think you will need to buy a SharePoint 2013 server license. The same goes for SQL, Windows etc.
There is also the question of user licenses, ie. CALs. I don't remember if those come included as part of an MSDN subscription.
2) Possibly. As long as Amazon can host a domain for you it should be possible.
3) Pass. Microsoft prefer you to use Azure and most of my training and experience is with that.
4) High. 4 cores, 24GB of RAM minimum.

You'll either need a 2XLarge or a memory orientated box, in which case you won't have much storage space.
Internal team infrastructure is still important. If you're using it enough to make it worth having then you need it there and running.
Have you considered using Office 365?

SharePoint Server 2013 farm software updates not available in SCCM

At my current customer, we are currently switching over to SCCM for all Software Update Management.
For now, the only issue we are experiencing is that we do not receive SharePoint updates on our SharePoint Server 2013 farm. With WSUS we can detect these, but they are not listed in SCCM. We sync directly with Windows Update.
It are specifically the updates that are marked as "farm-deployment", as you can see in example in this image.:
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gI8Ew7RlY0g/VPqM0QUn6oI/AAAAAAAAIDQ/S1Ufp0x-mSU/s1600/windows%2Bupdate%2Bincludes%2Bsharepoint%2B2013%2Bpatches.png
In the SUP properties, we have enabled the Office 2013 product and all classifications besides "Tools".
Am I missing something?

I could see these SharePoint updates in my SCCM console.
N.B. the question was about "farm-deployment" updates specifically.
Can you please post a screen-shot showing these updates in the SCCM-console?
This is from WSUS:

Disappearing disk space Windows Server 2012 R2 with SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise

I've got an interesting problem with a virtual machine in our VMWare environment. It is Windows Server 2012 R2 with SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise installed. I started out with a 60GB disk and it started running out of space, so I increased
it in VMWare and extended the partition to 100GB. Well, that lasted for a bit and so I extended it again. I've done this 3 or 4 times and now I've got a 160GB disk with about 2-3GB of space remaining (and it started with 10GB remaining).
WinDirStat shows 105GB of <Unknown> space being used, which is probably my issue. However, I can't determine what this is and it keeps growing like a tapeworm. The context menu on the <Unknown> files has all the options disabled,
so WinDirStat doesn't appear to have access to whatever the file(s) is/are. I've performed several chkdsk /f on the C: drive and nothing bad is reported. I don't have any restore points and am not running VSS (that I'm aware of). The pagefile
reports as being about 4.9GB, so that's not the issue. No large files are shown anywhere and my explorer settings are set to show me all files, including system files.
When I try to run WinDirStat with elevated permissions, it hangs and becomes unresponsive.
I've even resorted to running CCleaner to see if it found anything, but it simply found the standard temp files and such...about 1GB.
I'm pulling my hair out...and I don't have much to start with. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Russ

It appears that somehow, Microsoft Fusion Assembly binding logging was turned on and many of the temp folders located at c:\users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\InetCache\IE were filling up with hundreds of thousands of Fusion HTM log files.
This is controlled by an entry in the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Fusion\ForceLog which was set to 1. Hopefully, setting it back to zero will fix the issue. As a result of figuring this out, I have recovered almost 80GB of disk
space occupied by the log files.
I thought WinDirStat would show me what I needed to know, but it turns out TreeSize (which I've used in the past) works much better.

SharePoint Server 2013 - very slow in loading pages (frontend)

Hello, I have a problem.
I have install a SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise. The enviroment:
1. Web-Front-End Server with 4 Core, 12 GB RAM, SSD (WS2012, SharePoint 2013 RTM + CU March 2013)
2. Backend SQL Server 2012 with 3 Core, 10 GB RAM, SSD (WS2012 + last Update)
The central administration page works fine, how sharepoint 2010.
The problem, when I access a web application, every site (main site, sub site, document library, ...), every action need 2 - 3 seconds. On the right side is the popup information "is in work ...". No CPU or SSD/HDD usage.
I have found the problem in the internet, but no solutions work.

1. I have set the maximum of the noderunner from 0 to 128 (no solution)
2. I have disable the two search services (no solution)
3. I have export and import the trusted root certificate for the 3 certificates for sharepoint, no solution.
I need help. Does anyone know the problem?
