I get the following error on SharePoint 2013 using server 2012:
The administration component for application Search Service Application failed with exception System.InvalidOperationException: This operation uses the SharePoint Administration service (spadminV4), which could not be contacted.
I have checked settings in the application services they look correct. I have changed settings in the application services for the search service and nothing. Still getting the error. Is there somewhere I'm missing to get this to work?
