Migration of search Admin component to different server in the same farm

Migration of search Admin component to different server in the same farm.

Recently one of the farms got some additional servers joined to the farm. The Search Admin was running on a WFE, and we wanted to move search off to some dedicated servers. Here is the Power Shell script for moving Search Admin:

$SSA = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication "Current Search Service App"
$SA = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchAdministrationComponent -SearchApplication $SSA
$SA | Set-SPEnterpriseSearchAdministrationComponent -SearchServiceInstance NewServerName –Force

After moving the Search Admin you’ll want to kick start the crawlers with the following:

Suspend-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication $SSA
Resume-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication $SSA
