Creating a Search Service Application and topology with PowerShell in SharePoint 2013 or 2016 – IN A NEW APP POOL

Stacy Simpkins

You can use this code to create a new application pool named “SharePoint Search Service Application Pool”, and then create the search service application with all the search components on one server.

####Run with an account that is a farm admin, use the search service account for the app pool user####

$ssaAppPoolName = "SharePoint Search Service Application Pool"
$SearchappPoolUserName = "Contoso\2013Search"

$ssaAppPool = Get-SPServiceApplicationPool -Identity $ssaAppPoolName -EA 0
if($ssaAppPool -eq $null)
{
Write-Host "Creating Search Service Application Pool…"
 
$SearchappPoolAccount = Get-SPManagedAccount -Identity $SearchappPoolUserName -EA 0
if($SearchappPoolAccount -eq $null)
{
Write-Host "Please supply the password for the Service Account…"
$ssappPoolCred = Get-Credential $SearchappPoolUserName
$SearchappPoolAccount = New-SPManagedAccount -Credential $ssappPoolCred -EA 0
}
 
$SearchappPoolAccount = Get-SPManagedAccount -Identity $SearchappPoolUserName -EA 0
 
if($SearchappPoolAccount -eq $null)
{
Write-Host "Cannot create or find the managed account $SearchappPoolUserName, please ensure the account exists."
Exit -1
}
 
New-SPServiceApplicationPool -Name $ssaAppPoolName -Account $SearchappPoolAccount -EA 0 > $null
 
}
 
 
 
## Search Specifics, we are single server farm ##
 
$searchServerName = (Get-ChildItem env:computername).value
 
$serviceAppName = "Enterprise Search Services"
 
$searchDBName = "Search"
 
 
## Grab the Appplication Pool for Service Application Endpoint ##
 
$ssaAppPool = Get-SPServiceApplicationPool $ssaAppPoolName
 
## Start Search Service Instances ##
 
Write-Host "Starting Search Service Instances..."
 
Start-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance $searchServerName
 
Start-SPEnterpriseSearchQueryAndSiteSettingsServiceInstance $searchServerName
 
## Create the Search Service Application and Proxy ##
 
Write-Host "Creating Search Service Application and Proxy..."
 
$searchServiceApp = New-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication -Name $serviceAppName -ApplicationPool $ssaAppPoolName -DatabaseName $searchDBName
 
$searchProxy = New-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplicationProxy -Name "$serviceAppName Proxy" -SearchApplication $searchServiceApp
 
## Clone the default Topology (which is empty) and create a new one and then activate it ##
 
Write-Host "Configuring Search Component Topology..."
 
$appserv = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance -Identity $searchServerName
 
 
Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance -Identity $appserv
 
 
$ssa = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication
 
 
$newTopology = New-SPEnterpriseSearchTopology -SearchApplication $ssa
 
 
New-SPEnterpriseSearchAdminComponent -SearchTopology $newTopology -SearchServiceInstance $appserv
 
New-SPEnterpriseSearchCrawlComponent -SearchTopology $newTopology -SearchServiceInstance $appserv
 
New-SPEnterpriseSearchContentProcessingComponent -SearchTopology $newTopology -SearchServiceInstance $appserv
 
New-SPEnterpriseSearchAnalyticsProcessingComponent -SearchTopology $newTopology -SearchServiceInstance $appserv
 
New-SPEnterpriseSearchQueryProcessingComponent -SearchTopology $newTopology -SearchServiceInstance $appserv
 
New-SPEnterpriseSearchIndexComponent -SearchTopology $newTopology -SearchServiceInstance $appserv
 
 
Set-SPEnterpriseSearchTopology -Identity $newTopology
 
 
 
Write-Host "Search Service Application installation Complete!"
 
##END SEARCH
