Hi,
Current Situation: When configuring service applications for the first time, the search service application has not configured correctly. In addition, somebody have deleted the Search db's from SSMS.
Goal: Goal is to delete the existing search service and create new one.
Steps Taken:
1. Tried to remove the search service application from Central Administration, and it says the search database is unable to open and the user does not have access to it. But I am using Farm Admin account...
2. Tried to remove from the Management Shell, same issue as attached.
I understood that, SharePoint is going into loop where there are still some references to the deleted db and is now not allowing it to be removed thinking that it cannot be opened.
How do I completely delete the existing search service application so that I start creating new one?
Please see attached errors and advice accordingly.
Thanks,
Sai
