MSG_CI_CREATE_SEVER_ITEM_FAILED
MSG_CI_CREATE_SEVER_ITEM_FAILED is emitted before normal query request processing can proceed. Its built-in message explicitly suggests that the MSFTESQL service account may be invalid or its password may have expired, so authentication/service identity belongs near the top of the diagnostic tree.
Preserve the nested error and validate service identity
- Capture error parameter
%2from the expanded event; it can identify the lower-level failure that blocked request-item creation. - Check the configured service identity, account state, password/credential changes, and relevant logon failures at the same time.
- Do not start with SQL grammar changes: the query engine failed while creating its initial request item, before executing the intended search.
Windows Search query clients ultimately communicate with the search service and catalog. When the service-side request object cannot be created, retrying different SELECT columns may obscure the real issue. Correlate the event with service startup and security logs, especially after account-policy or credential changes. If the nested HRESULT points elsewhere, follow that code rather than assuming the account suggestion is always the sole cause.
