title: SharePoint 2013 Search Service Application
body: <p>I have built a SharePoint 2013 environment and everything was successfully setup. Then I had to disconnect the SharePoint 2013 server from the Farm, then I reconnected it to the farm again using the SharePoint 2013 products configuration wizard, then I re-run the AutoSPInstaller script I used to install SharePoint 2013 originally and this time the search service application was not successfully  provisioned (already provisioned during initial install via AutoSPInstaller).</p>
  
  <p>In search service application search administration page, I get the following message under "Search Application Topology":</p>
  
  <p>"Unable to retrieve topology component health states. This may be because the admin component is not up and running"</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone come across this issue before? how was it resolved?</p>
  
  <p>I have installed the required/additional hotfixes: KB2472264, KB2554876, KB2708075, KB2765317...</p>
  
  <p>Would deleting the Search Service Application and the database (data) associated with it via central admin, then running the AutoSPInstaller script again fix this issue? has anybody tries this method?</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... I am tearing my hair out at this minute...</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance </p>
