I’ve done this a number of times, and have used a variety of others (blog) posts to do this in the past, some of which have gone offline since I first started using them, as such, I wanted to keep track of how to do this for myself, so I’ve gone ahead and grabbed the PowerShell from the following blog post.<\/p>\n

Many thanks to Steve Mann for this post, and I truly appreciate your efforts in figuring out the proper PowerShell to do this correctly.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/stevemannspath.blogspot.ca\/2013\/03\/sharepoint-2013-search-moving-query.html<\/a><\/p>\n

Step #1 – Clone the Active Search Topology<\/strong>
\n# Clone the active search topology
\n$ssa = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication
\n$active = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchTopology -SearchApplication $ssa -Active
\n$clone = New-SPEnterpriseSearchTopology -SearchApplication $ssa -Clone \u2013SearchTopology $active<\/span><\/p>\n

Step #2 – Add the New Search Component on the WFE<\/strong>
\n# Add New Search Component
\n$wfe = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance -Identity “[[web front end server name here]]”<\/span>
\nNew-SPEnterpriseSearchQueryProcessingComponent -SearchTopology $clone -SearchServiceInstance $wfe<\/span><\/p>\n

Step #3 – Start the Search Instance on the WFE
\n<\/strong># Start Instance On Different Server
\nStart-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance -Identity $wfe<\/span><\/p>\n

Step #4 – Activate the Cloned Search Topology<\/strong>
\n# Activate Search Topology
\nSet-SPEnterpriseSearchTopology -Identity $clone<\/span><\/p>\n

Step #5 – Clone the Search Topology Again<\/strong>
\n# Clone Again
\n$ssa = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication
\n$active = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchTopology -SearchApplication $ssa -Active
\n$clone = New-SPEnterpriseSearchTopology -SearchApplication $ssa -Clone \u2013SearchTopology $active
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Step #6 – Get the ComponentID to Move<\/strong>
\n# Get the Search Component ID To Move
\n$queryComponentID = (Get-SPEnterpriseSearchComponent -SearchTopology $clone -Identity QueryProcessingComponent1).componentID<\/span><\/p>\n

Step #7 – Remove the Search Component from the Original Server<\/strong>
\n# Remove Search Component
\nRemove-SPEnterpriseSearchComponent -Identity $queryComponentID.GUID -SearchTopology $clone -confirm:$false
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Step #8 –\u00a0Activate the Search Topology Again<\/strong>
\n# Activate Search Topology Again
\nSet-SPEnterpriseSearchTopology -Identity $clone
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Again, all the credit to Steve Mann, much appreciated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
