SharePoint 2013 – AutoSPInstaller hangs at "Creating Metadata Service Application…"

January 11, 2016 · by dave.webb · in AutoSPInstaller, SharePoint 2013, Tips and Tricks

I have noticed several times when using AutoSPInstaller that it hangs at “Creating Metadata Service Application”.

So far I haven’t managed to work out why this happens, but the only workaround I have found is to close the PowerShell window and launch the AutoSPInstallerLaunch.bat file again, then it will succeed the second time. If anybody has any suggestions on how to prevent this from happening please add a comment.
