ShrarePoint Search 2010 Administration Component not responding

Hi Folks,

I ran the following ugly error in SharePoint 2010 Search Administration Screen today. After lot of googling, many suggested to rebuild the farm, re-run configuration wizard, re-create search application. But the error can be resolved by the Simple stsadm command

Scenario: Search is not working, Admin Components couldn't connect and not able to view the topology

Problem: The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. verify that the administration component '########-####-####-####-###########' in search application 'search service application' is in a good state and try again.

Resolution: Run the following stsadm command

stsadm -o provisionservice -action start -servicename osearch14 -servicetype "Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchService, Microsoft.Office.Server.Search, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c"

do a simple iisreset /noforce

Thats it!!! it will start working!!!

Happy Code Fix!!!!
