Last Updated March 28, 2014



Description

This post describes how to configure the SharePoint Server 2013 Work Management Service Application using PowerShell.

Solution

1)  Document the Naming Convention

Document a naming convention for each of the Work Management Service Application components. 

Example:
Application Pool Service Account:  Domain\SvcAccount (this should already be created)
Application Pool: SvcApp_SPServiceApplicationPool_02 (this should already be created)
Service Application: SvcApp_SPWorkManagementServiceApplication_01

2)  Open the SharePoint 2013 Management Shell as Administrator.

3)  Verify the Name of the Application Pool.
PS C:\ Get-SPServiceApplicationPool | Select Name

4)  Set the Service Application Pool in a variable.
$SvcAppPool02 = Get-SPServiceApplicationPool "SvcApp_SPServiceApplicationPool_02"

5)  Create the Service Application and assign it to the Application Pool.
$SvcApp = New-SPWorkManagementServiceApplication -ApplicationPool $SvcAppPool02 -Name "SvcApp_SPWorkManagementServiceApplication_01"
 
6)  Verify the Service Application.
PS C:\ Get-SPServiceApplication | Select Name
