The Get-AdminServiceStatus cmdlet returns an object containing the status of the DelegatedAdmin Service together with extra diagnostics information.
  • DBUnconfigured
    The DelegatedAdmin Service does not have a database connection configured.
  • DBRejectedConnection
    The database rejected the logon attempt from the DelegatedAdmin Service. This may be because the service attempted to log on with invalid credentials or because a database has not been installed in the specified location.
  • InvalidDBConfigured
    The expected stored procedures are missing from the database. This may be because the DelegatedAdmin Service schema has not been added to the database.
  • DBNotFound
    The specified database could not be located with the configured connection string.
  • DBMissingOptionalFeature
    The DelegatedAdmin is connected to a database that is valid, but it does not have the full functionality required for optimal performance. Upgrading the database is advisable.
  • DBMissingMandatoryFeature
    The DelegatedAdmin is connected to a database that is valid, but it does not have the full functionality required so the DelegatedAdmin cannot function. Upgrading the database is required.
  • DBNewerVersionThanService
    The version of the DelegatedAdmin Service currently in use is incompatible with the version of the DelegatedAdmin Service schema on the database. Upgrade the DelegatedAdmin Service to a more recent version.
  • DBOlderVersionThanService
    The version of the DelegatedAdmin Service schema on the database is incompatible with the version of the DelegatedAdmin Service currently in use. Upgrade the database schema to a more recent version.
  • DBVersionChangeInProgress
    A database schema upgrade is currently in progress.
  • OK
    The DelegatedAdmin Service is running and is connected to a database containing a valid schema.
  • PendingFailure
    Connectivity between the DelegatedAdmin Service and the database has been lost. This may be a transitory network error, but may indicate a loss of connectivity that requires administrator intervention.
  • Failed
    Connectivity between the DelegatedAdmin and the database has been lost for an extended period of time, or has failed due to a configuration problem. The DelegatedAdmin service cannot operate while its connection to the database is unavailable.
  • Unknown
    The service status cannot be determined.
