Question

In SharePoint 2010 Server, what service accounts do the following windows services map to in the Credential Management drop down?

  • OSearch14(Windows Service)
  • SPSearch4(Windows Service)

I am trying to resolve the below error from the TFS Best Practices Analyzer.

Best Practices Analyzer Error

When I open the Farm Credential Management, I see the following list of Services and Web Applications in the drop down list.

Services and Web applications drop down from the Farm Credential Management

Was it helpful?

Solution

The correct mapping is the following.

  • SPSearch4 (Windows Service) → Windows Service - SharePoint Foundation Search
  • OSearch14 (Windows Service) → Windows Service - SharePoint Server Search

Once I changed the accounts for each of these servers through the Farm Credential Management page, the error was resolved.
