Issue Details

An unhandled exception occurred in the user interface.Exception Information: An object of the type Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPIisWebServiceApplicationPool named "Search Service Application 1" already exists under the parent Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPIisWebServiceSettings named "SharePoint Web Services". Rename your object or delete the existing object.

Correlation ID: 0b7e5f9c-a8bc-c066-02a7-4f9923b0ae03

Cause

If you fill in the same application pool name for both the Search Admin Web Service and the Search Query and Site Settings Web Service and this application pool doesn't already exist, you will see this error because it tries to create the application pool with that name twice while provisioning the service app.

Solution

Use different application pools for the Search Admin Web Service, Search Query, and Site Settings Web Service.
