Hey,
Just installed a KB from microsoft on my SharePoint server and when I tried to run the configuration wizard afterwards I got a strange error message:
Could not start service SPSearch
Naturally, I went to have a look in "services" and I found that the "windows sharepoint services search" service was stopped, and could not start...
Starting it says it cannot login due to wrong username / password... strange...
I updated the correct password - started it - OK,
So - back to the wizard... running the wizard - same error message - checking the service - login failed...
strange...
After 4 or 5 times my stuck trace overflowed I guess, so I started thinking... why would the wizard change my service user name / passwor?
Than it came to me: I updated the SP admin user password a while back, and thought I updated it every where. Even used some stsadm -o upgradefarmcredentials and other credential updates...
But - than I came accross this command:
stsadm -o spsearch -farmserviceaccount domain\spadminuseraccount -farmservicepassword xxxxx
After runnign this command the wizard completed successfully.
I must say that the only reason I knew it had anything to do with the SPSearch is by watching every step of the wizard. The after-crash log file they propose is useless!!!
Well, when failing the wizard - here is another thing to keep in mind!
