How to add a new server to the farm to an existing search topology
We are running SharePoint 2016 on-prem. I detached a server that was part of the farm and also had the Content Processing, Analytics processing . When I reattached the server to the farm it no longer was part of the search topology with the components specified. My question is 1) how can I add it to an existing search topology Error while cloning:- $sa = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance -Local $clone = $sa.ActiveTopology.Clone() PS C:\Windows\system32> $sa.ActiveTopology.Clone() You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.
