I got a new WMware virtual machine today and it came preinstalled with various software for development, and also MOSS. I renamed the server and MOSS (use this guide), and then search services were down (both WSS and MOSS) and I attempted to start them. I made a new account for this called wss_search.
I got the “SPSearch(Administrator)” error, which is not terribly specific.
It turned out it was quite simple; I simply wrote wss_search as username, but I should have included machine name or domain name depending if its a local account or domain. So correct one would be
“my-testserver\wss_search”
The service then starts correctly.
