Hi All,

I'm unable to configure search service application in SharePoint 2013.When I go to CA > manage services , it is showing below issue.

On the place of started or stopped it shows 'error'. I'm using admin credentials here.

Then, when click on search service application, it shows details screen as follows

Thank you

Have you tried resetting the IIS on the server the admin component is, also make sure the application pool is running for the admin service. 

Yes rahul Gupta, 

I have checked all fine .. Is it good way to remove SSA and recreate new service by using powershell ?

by following this link

Thank you.

Hi Anil,

I have already deleted search service application and I'm getting another error while creating new search service application by SP GUI.

CA-->Manage Service Applications-->new > "Search Service Application" 

Set both App Pool For Search Admin Web Service, Application Pool for Search Query and Site Settings Web Service  

 to  "SharePoint Web Services Default".

Hi,

Change the application pool accounts to some other users from the IIS.  It seems SP\administrator does not exists in your scenario as the per error message.

Alternate option is to create the new application pools and give the new managed account for those application pools.

Please don't forget to mark it as answered, if your problem resolved or helpful.
