I am in the process of setting up a fresh SharePoint Server for the very first time. I have completed the installation, but am encountering a few issues that don't seem to want to be solved.

  1. Accounts used by application pools or service identities are in the local machine Administrators group. - I was sure to use a domain admin account, which I removed form the machine's local admin group, yet this error persists.

  2. The Unattended Service Account Application ID is not specified or has an invalid value. Error: "The rule for the Unattended Service Account Application ID failed. The ID does not exist. Visio Graphics Service" - I followed the prescriptions suggested by this tutorial, and the error persists.

  3. I am trying to migrate the Admin_Content_GUID database to an equivalent 'non-GUID' database, yet it tells me they have different schema and the migration is not possible. I am attempting this using the SharePoint Shell Commands and have done the 'psconfig.exe -cmd upgrade' multiple times.

Please give some insight into what I might be missing. Thank you in advance.

  • Please provide more information on which service is calling out for the unattended service account application ID.

Never use Domain Administrator accounts for SharePoint. It's not needed. Also, this error must be resolved on a per-service basis. Please edit your question with the services the error is calling out as not all services can be resolved; typically once resolving the services that can be changed, I disable the health rule.

You cannot migrate the Admin content database. You need to instead rebuild your farm using PowerShell so you can specify an admin database name.

Here is a sample script for building a new farm via the SharePoint Management Shell.

#2016 Farm
$configDb = "SP2016_Config"
$adminDb = "SP2016_Admin"
$dbServer = "SPSQL"
$farmPassphrase = "Password1"
$farmAdmin = "DOMAIN\s-farmadmin"
$role = "Custom"

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -EA 0
New-SPConfigurationDatabase -DatabaseName $configDb -DatabaseServer $dbServer -AdministrationContentDatabaseName $adminDb `
    -Passphrase (ConvertTo-SecureString $farmPassphrase -AsPlainText -Force) `
    -FarmCredentials (Get-Credential -Message "Farm Admin" -UserName $farmAdmin) -LocalServerRole $role
Initialize-SPResourceSecurity
Install-SPService 
Install-SPFeature -AllExistingFeatures
New-SPCentralAdministration -Port 8080 -WindowsAuthProvider NTLM
Install-SPHelpCollection -All
Install-SPApplicationContent
