SharePoint 2010 Server Search Troubleshooting
“The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component”
The Fpweb.net SharePoint 2010 research team was having an issue with SharePoint Server 2010 search services. No matter what we would do, how we would install it, or how we got our pre-reqs, we would end up with the following error:
System Status Crawl status The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component ’8d5c3da9-d70c-41f3-88af-32a4d142aaf4′ in search application ‘Search Service Application’ is in a good state and try again.
