  • Do you have any special characters (or accented characters) in any of the fields when creating the service application?

You will need to add the Search Service Managed Account to the WSS_ADMIN_WPG Group.

  • Have you tried restarting the machine or an iisreset after the above action?

  • yes - now i did but it is still not working... I made a new Account called sp_searchservice, added this acc to the farm administrators via CA after that, I followed your link and used the power shell commands. Tried to reinstall the service but the error still occurs.

  • I'm facing this problem too. Did you solved it? I'm spending hours. I tried going to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\15.0\Data\Office Server\" there I found the folder "Analytics_"+ guid. So i tried to share the folder but it still occurs

  • Hi! sorry i forgot to post my answer... Reinstall the server with the needed services activated... Sometimes activating services after the installation is bugged (for me).
