This is continuing to my previous post http://microsoftblog.co.in/commerceserver/check-for-sharepoint-infrastructure-update-failed/
Some times, while executing SharePoint commerce services configuration wizard, you may received “Share Point Admin Service” failure message (as shown below) and the tool will not allow you to proceed further (next button is disabled).
The solution is pretty simple.
- Start -> run and type “services.msc” and press enter key (services window opens).
- Start “Window SharePoint Service Administration” service (if it is already starter, restart it once again)
That’s it, if you run SharePoint commerce services configuration wizard again, you don’t see this error.

But after restarting the services, the wizard still fails. I am using Commerce server 2009 r2.
Please do help regarding the same.
Not sure… can you share the screenshot of wizard error, services and event viewer to my email ID (kanth @ ravikanth . net).
