Hi I'm hoping that someone can help me out here. I have a Multi-server dev farm that I am unable to provision PowerPivot correctly. It worked fine on the standalone farm. Any help would be appreciated

It keeps failing on the "Register Powerpivot System Service on Local Server"

SharePoint 2013 is patched to SP1 (15.0.4569.1000)

Installed Analysis Services SQL 2012 SP1 as a named instance on my Application Server. SQL is patched to CU5 (trying to get PowerView configured as well). Am able to load the PP named instance in SQL mgmt studio.

My Setup account is SYSADMIN on the SQL instance, and Local Admin on all servers (1 WFE, 1APP)

I've removed and reinstalled a few times, but not really getting anywhere. The spPowerPivot.msi version I am using is 2012 SP2.

This is the PowerShell output if I run that command on its own:

PS C:\Users\sharepointsetup> New-PowerPivotSystemServiceInstance -Provision:$true
New-PowerPivotSystemServiceInstance : The PowerPivot System Service does not
exist in the farm.
At line:1 char:1

I set logging to VerboseEx to see if there's more detail but there isn't and SQL trace wasnt very helpful. Here's the ULS for the corresponding command from PowerShell:

Fixed errors like: -Configure Local Service Instances,

  • -Register PowerPivot System Services on local server
  • -Cannot create the service instances because the parent service doesnot exist
  • -Prerequisites check for execution filed. Farm is not in a valid state. in powerpivot by doing

Before installing or trying to install powerpivot in sharepoint 2013--
