sharepoint 2013 the search service is not able to connect to the machine

in SharePoint 2013, I was getting this error while configuring Search Service application.

The error is:- The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component ‘XXXXXXXXXXXX′ in search application ‘Search Service Application 5′ is in a good state and try again.”


The solution for this is :- change the app pool of the search service to "SharePoint Web Services Default". in the properties of the search service.

Steps:-  CA-->Manage Service Applications-->

Select "Search Service Application" (Dont click the link).

in the ribbon control choose "Properties".

then chage the below both services's app pool to  "SharePoint Web Services Default

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





Before resolving this issue, I was facing another issue

the error is:

SharePoint 2013 Search not provisioned. "Domain/User" User or Group not found......


The problem is :- in SQL Server Management Studio open Security and then Logins
Here my Service account is registered as "ServerName/Administrtor"
then rename this to "YourDomain/Administrator"

  1. Great post. My issue fixed by this. I just change the service accounts from "SharePoint Web Services Default" to "SharePoint Web Services System". Search Service Application started automatically. I changed back both service account to "SharePoint Web Services Default" and the service continue working. Thanks for nice post.
