The search application 'guid' on server 'servername' did not finish loading

Hi all,
When trying to administer the content sources of the SharePoint Search Service I'm getting the following error:
The search application '74ae6181-7c32-4225-adbb-b630129c56c9' on server NLAMSAPP27 did not finish loading. View the event logs on the affected server for more information.
I have been searching the web for solutions, but apart from deleting and rebuilding the Search service (which I don't want to do at this point in time) I have not really encountered any useful suggestions.
Below is what I see in the trace log files.
Does anybody have a clue?
Regards,
Vladja

Hi all,
I noticed something weird later:
When listing all service applications in the farm by using the following powershell command
Get-SPServiceApplication I got the below result.
However, this list does not contain the GUID listed in my error message:
The search application '74ae6181-7c32-4225-adbb-b630129c56c9'
on server NLAMSAPP27 did not finish loading. View the event logs on the affected server for more information.
How can this be?!
Or is there a difference between a Search Application and a
Search Service Application?

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    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

    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.

    1. Central Administration > Monitoring > Review job definitions > Look for following timer job "Application Server Administration Service Timer Job" > Disable
    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.

  • Crawl issue - warning: "This URL is part of a host header SharePoint deployment and the search application is not configured to crawl individual host header sites. This will be crawled as a part of ....a start address"

    Hello all,
    I have a multi-tenant environment in SharePoint 2010 server. Different tenants are hosted by one web app.
    One content source has been created to crawl the all shared environment. (the only URL added in the content source settings = URL of the
     web app)
    Crawl everything under the hostname for each start address has been selected when creating this content source.
    Now I have created a new tenant hosted by the same web app. For this new tenant I want to have a different crawl schedule. Simple , I just create a new content source and add the host URL of this tenant. With the same settings has the other content source.
    After having started a full crawl I get 0 success and 1 warning : “This URL is part of a host header SharePoint deployment and the search application is not configured to crawl
    individual host header sites. This will be crawled as a part of the host header Web application if configured as a start address.”
    The first content source is well crawling the new tenant freshly created. Could you tell me where I’m wrong?
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Baldo

    Baldo,
    In the configuration that you described you now have 2 content sources set to crawl the same content. If you have a content source with a start address of http://servername/ then it is going to crawl everything past that address. If you are now changing
    the crawl schedule based on the individual site collections, you will need to move your start addresses further down the URL.
    For Example:
    1st Content Source:
    http://servername/ as a start address would now become
    http://servername/site1
    http://servername/site2
    2nd Content Source:
    http://servername/site3
    Also remember that all crawling must happen on the default zone. If you are trying to crawl a zone that the web application has been extended into, that will not work.

  • Windows Server 2012 Foundation, in a Workgroup - "The server did not finish checking the license compliance. If the server is joined to a domain, make sure that the server can connect to a domain controller"...

    Every few days we see two dialogs with the following messages:
    Dialog 1, title: Check for Licensing Compliance is Incomplete
    The server did not finish checking the license compliance. If the server is joined to a domain, make sure that the server can connect to a domain controller.
    Dialog 2, title: Check for Licensing Compliance is Incomplete
    The server did not finish checking the license compliance. If the server is joined to a domain, make sure that the server can connect to a domain controller. If the license compliance check cannot be completed, the server will automatically shut
    down in 8 day(s) 23 hour(s) 0 minute(s).
    The server is not (and never has been) joined to a domain or had any DC roles installed. In fact its still connected to the default Workgroup.
    The server was configured in our office and never showed this message until it was installed on site. The main difference from what I can see is that when installed on site it was given a static IP address and does not have any DNS settings in the network
    adapter properties. 
    I have scoured a number of forums on this error but in almost every other instance of this error message the servers are connected to a Domain Controller and the solutions generally are linked to dis-joining and rejoining the domain. Unfortunately this is
    not an option for this scenario.
    I initially thought that adding some relevant DNS server IP address may resolve the issue, however, we have the exact same model server configured exactly the same running at a different site that does not experience this problem. This server also has no
    DNS server configured.
    I have seen a post that suggests turning off the servers "Foundation Checking", but I'm unsure how to do this.

    Thanks for your response Vivian.
    I can confirm that this server is not (and never has been) a member of any active directory, it is configured as a Workgroup server. It was initially configured on a network that does have an active directory, but was never joined to it. During that time it
    never displayed these messages.
    The server was moved into production on a different site and network and setup with a static IP address.The site network does have its own active directory but the server was not joined to it. It is whilst on this new network that these messages began.
    Since my original post DNS servers have been added and the Microsoft activation has been verified, however, the messages are still appearing.
    There are only 2 user accounts configured on this server. The local admin account and another local admin user.
    The remote desktop services roles have been installed but not yet configured. I don't think that has any bearing on this scenario though.
    The description of this error in the above "Introduction to Windows Server 2012 Foundation" link states:
    This error occurs when the server cannot finish checking the requirements for the root domain, forest trust configuration, or both. It usually happens when the server cannot connect to a domain controller. If the situation persists, the server will
    shut down 10 days after the first time the compliance check failed. Each time this error message occurs, it will state the actual time remaining before the server will shut down. If you restart the server after it has shut down because of non-compliance, the
    server will shut itself down again in 3 days.
    The above description leads me to the following question - In a Workgroup environment, does the server still try to contact a domain controller to establish a level of trust? If this is the case could it be that the server can no longer see the initial DC
    on its new network and this is what is triggering the messages?
    Am I clutching at straws here?

    installing Macromedia Coldfusion MX7”
    However, the ColdFusion service does not appear to be
    running, the web server connectors did not install successfully,
    and the web server and/or website could not bve reached on port 80.
    Possible reasons include the ColdFusion service failing to start,
    blocked 2920 or 51011 ports, or the web server and/or website is
    not running or is not configured to listen on port 80 (in which
    case this is not an error).
    Please complete the following steps to complete the
    installation:
    1) Consult the Installation Guide on how to manually
    configure the web server connecttor,
    2) Ensure any firewall software blocking ports 2920 or 51011
    is disabled,
    3) Ensure the ColdFusion service is started,
    4) Manually configure your web server connectors,
    5) Confirm you web server and websites are started, and
    6) Continure your installatino by logging in to the
    Configuration wizard at
    http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm”
    I cannot find an Installation Guide. Have switched off the
    firewall in the ‘Sharing’ folder in the System
    Preferences. Don’t know how I would manually configure web
    server connectors and can find nothing in the Macromedia support
    website.
    What can I do? I am very keen to learn and use Coldfusion.
    Any help greatly apprecitated.

    I tried the Aperature trial and liked it, but did not purchase it when the trial ended. A few weeks later, i purchased snow lepord and purchased aperture via the app store. I have had not been able to use it since. Each time i open it , afer a few seconds i get the spinning wheel of death and Aperture is frozen. I have to force quit Aperture to shot down mycomputer. I have re-installed Aperture 3 times with th e same result. I have iphoto on my computer as well is this causing the problem? I want my money back!!! Can anyone help?

    You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
    Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

  • ITunes 10.5 Upgrade fails to Install. The Error Message is: "There is a Problem with this Windows Installer Package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."

    When Upgrading on my laptop from iTunes 10.2.11 to 10.5.0 the message I get is: "There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package.  Aprogram run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or pacakge vendor.

    After reading all these posts, one by one did not resolve my problem until I got the very end.  Regardless of what step would resolve your problem, these are the steps I would recomment to everyone for a what seems to be a safe and fool-proof upgrade to iTunes 10.5.
    1. Stand alone upgrade to the latest Quicktime version
    2. Go to control panel and "change" then select repair to the following applications in the order specified by the post on Oct 27. (Notice I skipped Quicktime because it had been upgrade manually,and Bonjour did not have a "repair" option)
    iTunes; Apple Software Update: Mobile Device Support; Apple Applications Support
    Some of these applications may not appear if they do not apply to your configuration (no iPhone, or no iPad, or other apple devices).
    Once all updated, I did not need to restart nor launch any applications, I simply went straight into the 10.5 upgrade, and where it normally got stuck, this time the installation continued for a while longer until it completed successfully.
    Great work everyone who contributed!  Thank you very much!

  • I recently removed an outlook account and now all of my calendar events are missing. The majority of them were added from my iphone 4s. How do I retrieve the events? Backing up with iCloud did not help, as I assumed it would.

    I recently removed an outlook account and now all of my calendar events are missing. The majority of them were added from my iphone 4s. How do I retrieve the events? Backing up with iCloud did not help, as I assumed it would.

    Outlook is a mail client for PC's (and Macs). It is not a type of account. Do you mean an "Exchange Account"?
    If so, then re-add it. The calendar events live on the Exchange Server. The only way to get them back is to re-add the account to the phone. The contents of Exchange and IMAP accounts are not part of the 'backup' as they already exist elsewhere.

  • In OS Yosemite the search function in Mail, Finder, Spotlight- does not work

    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
    2,6 GHz Intel Core i7
    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB
    OS Yosemite,
    Finder versión 10.10.1
    Mail Versión 8.1 (1993)
    In OS Yosemite the search function in Mail, Finder, Spotlight… does not work. Messages or documents with the search criteria are there and one could find them manually, but the search function fails to find them. Following advice from Apple Support (728965377):
    1. I applied an Apple protocol for adware removal (Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac); I had none, because I had formally utilized a similar protocol that I had found in Internet, actually an app that implemented automatically Apple's adware removal protocol.
    2. I rebuild the post boxes in Mail (Mail (Yosemite): Reconstruir buzones); It took a while but it functioned properly
    3. I re-install the System (OS X Yosemite: Reinstalar OS X); It took about 4 hours but there was no problem whatsoever with the installation.
    Afterwards I searched for messages in Mail, and documents in Finder and Spotlight, without any difficulty. The search function in all of them was working properly. But the next time that I needed to search messages or documents, an hour later or so, the problem reappear and a couple of new issues occurred:
    1. in app RagTime 6.5.2 (Build 1821), www.ragtime.de, the menu bar disappears (it is invisible), when one performs certain operations, e. g., calculating a value with a formula, whether it is in a spreadsheet or some other component (text, drawing, etc.). After touching with the cursor the menu bar is visible again.
    2. after reading an e-mail in Mail or copying an address, this is seeing as a floating object in the finder and over every application. There is no logical way to get rid of the floating object and neither copying or deleting or cutting it. It is not a big issue but nonetheless bothersome.
    3. In Mail, messages with Flag or in VIP contacts cannot be seen in the appropriate folders, only in the Incoming mail folder, together with other messages. It seems to me, this issue is part of same search function problem.
    4. The preview function within Mail does not show the attached documents to a message, whether it is in the IN, OUT or Draft boxes.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try again to re-index Spotlight. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Some private information, such as your name or email address, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • When installing itunes 10 uding windows xp I get the following error: "There is a problem with this Windows Installerpackage. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your sipport personnel or package vendor." - any ideas?

    When downloading itunes 10 in windows xp, I get the following error "There is a problem with this Windoes Installer package. Aprogram run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." - any ideas on how to proceed?

    using MSICUU2.exe didn't help me.  But,  the new replacement app did:
      http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    I fixed my problem like this:
    Here's the deal - 
    1.  can you install itunes via the APPLE SOFTWARE updater?
    I couldn't  so I downloaded ITUNES and tried to install it that way.   Hence  I got the same error hang as you.  Nothing worked,  (Multiple attempts at uninstall reinstall,  stopping of Services,  Reg cleaners  etc..)
    2.  If answer is NO to #1 you must fixe the APPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE Program. 
    OK  so I couldn't find a Download for this.   But:  if you have WINRAR,  open the ITUNES.EXE and extract the APPLESOFTWAREUPDATE.MSI file.  Execute the APPLESOFTWAREUPDATE.MSI separately.   And you will not be able to install it and have a similar issue as per your Itunes install.   This of course leads you to believe that the Itunes.exe  install is also installing all of these components including the applesoftwareupdate silently.   It must BOMB at that portion of the install and you are done. 
    3.  Your goal now is to get the applesoftwareupdate installed.   How do you do this.  Well -  here is what I did.
      a.  downloaded and RUN a PC  Installer FIX it tool from Microsoft.  This is a replacement for the older MSI fixer they used to use.
      http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    b. It will list programs to attempt to fix.
      choose  AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi
    c. Once it is done,  then reinstall apple program updater using
    AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi
    Finally it should install since the Microsoft tool appraently fixed corrupted installation files in your registry for this application.
    (Please note:  that I also disabled any apple related services such as BONJOUR or IPOD DEvice RUN:  services.msc to get there -  although this man not be necesarry.)
    Hence Launch this APPLE UPDATE SOFTWARE (Click the ICON in your Start menu)  it should list ITUNES
    select ITUNES from here and it will update.
    KEY HERE is to ONLY UPDATE APPLE Stuff via the APPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE program.  If that program is not working fix it.  Then Bingo.
    I am sorry to see folks having this problem for weeks.  
    APPLE,   Spread the word.  PC's can get corruption in the registry on your product should the update be stopped or computer shut off during an update.  etc...   Please improve your software updater program to check for invalid registry upon launching the app.  This will prevent people thinking it is an APPLE issue.  It appears to be a problem on your PC's registry settings for the APPLE Software update.

  • How can I download my past purchases that are not in my icloud?  Somehow I lost songs that I purchased they say that the orginal files are gone but I did not delete them

    How can I download past purchases that are not in my icloud?  Somehow I lost songs it says that the orginal files can not be located.  They are still available in the store but it doesn't give me the option to download them.  I did not delete any songs or files but I am missing a lot of files

    The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.
    If you have to resort to trying to pull back the library from your iPod see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    Note also that if iTunes has an entry for a song, even if that entry is broken, then it won't offer that track for download since it "thinks" you already have it. If you can't find the original files or recover them from a device, then you may need to delete the broken entries, close iTunes and reopen before you can access the past purchases.
