Stacy Simpkins

If you need to rebuild a 2010 search service application in a new app pool (and yes I know it is almost 2019)  here’s the script

 

#####################################################

## Settings you may want to change ##
$databaseServerName = "SharePointSQL" #assumes you're using a SQL Alias configured with cliconfg.exe
$searchServerName = "2010APP" #Front end Server that will run central admin, the server you’re on right now
$saAppPoolName = "SharePoint Hosted Services"
$appPoolUserName = "Contoso\2010svcapps" #This is the service application pool account it is not the farm admin account for Timer and Central admin, sometimes calle#d the farm account, it is not the setup account, or install account

$ssaAppPoolName = "SharePoint Search Service Application Pool"
$SearchappPoolUserName = "Contoso\2010Search"
