  • Thanks so much! I will try that. As a side conceptual question, if my farm has a service application, does it reside on a Central Administration web application, or does the CA act just as portal to the service applications (that allows admins access to the service apps) and as long as the service is running on one of the servers on the farm, it will automatically recognize that - say - Search is working on APPSERVER1234 instead of APPSERVER5678 now.

    Central admin is a portal and give you access the services applications. SharePoint is smart enough to recognize the services app if it is running on any server. as i said earlier, you need extra work for UPA & Search..but for MMS simply start on other server solve the issue....One Tip, once you move the services and add new server and remove the old....clear the config cache on all server in farm so that no cached item cause any issue.

  • Sorry, last question! When you say "clear config cache", do you mean iisreset? Sorry if that's a newbie question.... I'm trying to learn more along the way, too :) Commented Jul 17, 2014 at 15:31
