SharePoint Core Service Deployment Failed

Symptom​

Automatic or manual deployment of Netwrix Auditor for SharePoint Core Service in Web Front-end (WFE) servers fails.

Cause​

The service account used to upgrade or install Core Service has insufficient permissions.

Resolution​

Review the permissions granted to the service account. Refer to the following article for additional information on required permissions: https://docs.netwrix.com/docs/auditor/10_8 (SharePoint — Permissions for SharePoint Auditing · v10.6).

Manual Installation​

Refer to the following steps to manually install Core Service in all WFE servers:

  1. Extract the SharePoint solution package—locate the .msi file placed by default in C:\Program Files (x86)\Netwrix Auditor\SharePoint Auditing\SharePointPackage and extract the contents via 7-Zip.

  2. Once extracted, copy the .wsp file to each WFE server. Run the following lines in each WFE in elevated PowerShell to install the solution package:

Add-SPSolution -LiteralPath c:\Netwrix.SharePoint.Audit.wsp
Install-SPSolution -identity Netwrix.SharePoint.Audit.wsp -GACDeployment -Local -Force

IMPORTANT: Replace the placeholder -LiteralPath path with the actual path for the .wsp package.

  1. Confirm the deployment in each server by running the following line in PowerShell:
Get-SPSolution -Identity 'Netwrix.SharePoint.Audit.wsp' | FT

Verify that Core Service is installed globally.
